The wellbeing walks that run right across my constituency, such as Bob Anderson’s in Rossington, see significant numbers of people turning out every Sunday. It feels like a family, and people are always welcomed with a bacon butty at the end of each walk—I have learnt from my neighbouring MP, my right hon. Friend the Member for Doncaster North (Ed Miliband), that a bacon butty is not always the snack of choice. Alongside that, we see extraordinary work every day from groups supporting people through the cost of living pressures that many families are facing. The Bread and Butter Thing food club, the Isle of Axholme Foodshare Project, DN7 Foodbank and Hatfield St Lawrence Church’s pre-loved uniform bank are just a few examples. They all step in where families need practical help to get through the week. They help people to keep food on the table, make budgets stretch further and ensure that children go to school with dignity.
