Victories

2024: A mother of a 16 month-old baby won edible & sufficient food for herself & her daughter in an asylum hotel. Meals were plain bread, dried up pizza & rice & chicken every day. Her daughter got food pouches for age 7 months. They were hungry all the time. We helped this mum complain to the hotel & Migrant Help – which gets £230m to “support migrants” and allocates accommodation. Neither responded. She said: “I get only £18/wk & was buying noodles & cereal to eat. My baby was always hungry and upset. Then last week the staff changed & suddenly we were given freshly cooked hot & tasty meals. Now I don’t have to use my precious £ to make sure my baby eats. Protest works!” Share our post on Instagram here.
