Despite persistent rain, Unite Community Isle of Wight were proud to join 85 other scheduled actions across the UK last Friday and Saturday, in a national protest about Universal Credit benefit changes, which are leaving households without income or resources for over five weeks causing anxiety and misery for thousands of families.
A collection point for Foodbank donations was well-supported and Island residents took leaflets and signed a petition calling for the immediate stopping and scrapping of Universal Credit.
Unite Community Isle of Wight extend a huge thanks to everyone who participated.
