Meet Jack Monroe.
Jack, 24, is now a trainee journalist, but until recently she was self-employed, reliant on benefits and struggling to make ends meet. This meant she couldn’t afford essentials like heating or food, and she was forced to turn to her local food bank for help, as her total food budget only stretched to ten pounds a week.
Jack thinks there is a lot of hidden poverty in the UK at the moment. She says: “When people see me they don’t think I’m poor. It’s not an assumption people make, they don’t make the connection that you might be in your flat freezing cold missing meals for 3 days on end.”
Today we released a new report on poverty in the UK, which revealed that up to half a million people in this country are receiving food aid - a hidden scandal in which people like Jack cannot afford to feed themselves or their families.
You can read the report and find out how you can help over here.

Syria crisis
More than a million refugees have now fled violence in Syria and are in desperate need of shelter, food and water. Oxfam is aiming to reach 650,000 people in the coming months and calling for more international aid and a peaceful solution to the crisis.Enough Food for Everyone IF
The IF campaign is a huge coalition of UK-based organisations, including Oxfam, who share the vision of a world where everyone has enough to eat.Between now and the G8 in June, we're joining forces to petition David Cameron relentlessly and every which way to use his presidency of the G8 to take a lead on hunger.
Through our actions, and his leadership, we can persuade governments to act too, and when they do, everyone on this planet will have the chance of getting the food they need to live a healthy, happy life.
