Rejected petition: prioritise the end of poverty in tower hamlets and the uk
Rejected on
This petition calls for more funding for benefits, shelters, and food banks in Tower Hamlets and other high-poverty areas, so people can afford basic needs like food and housing.
Many people cannot afford basic needs like food and housing. Increasing support would help ensure essential services are available to those who need them most and if the government support these people I believe the uk would be a better place
