This is our first big chance, as part of theEnough Food for Everyone IF…campaign, to get the UK government to tackle global hunger.
We’ve got till 15 March - just before the UK budget – to convince Chancellor George Osborne to:
- deliver enough life-saving aid to stop children dying and help the poorest families feed themselves
- get big companies to spill the beans on dodging tax in poor countries, so that millions of people can free themselves from hunger
Email your MP here to ask them to put pressure on the Chancellor

Take action on tax dodging
Tens of thousands of us took action ahead of the Budget - pressing the government to keep their promise on aid and to tackle the tax dodgers in poor countries. We made the government act on a 43-year-old promise on life-saving aid. We made this first IF happen.But we’ve still got more big IFs to tackle. So far they haven’t delivered on their tough talk and made big companies spill the beans on the taxes they owe overseas.
There’s still a chance to change this. The Finance Bill, which makes the Budget law, is being debated in Parliament right now. IF enough MPs call for it to be amended, we can still get the changes developing countries urgently need to clamp down on tax dodging and get the money to fight hunger.
Please email your MP now.
