Joy Victor hasn't added a story.
I am Joy Victor, along with my friend Jade Azim have decided to set up a chairty called Benefit - we have decided that while we are angered with the election result we must now do what we can to help those whose lives will be altered drastically under the new Conservative govenement.
A matter that we believe will harm our local area dramatically is the continuation of the bedroom tax.
The bedroom tax has been introduced in order to reduce the amount of housing benefit paid to some of the poorest and most vulnerable in the Walthamstow and Chingford area will be greatly reduced if the govenment deems you to have one to many bedrooms. These people are then expected to either pay the short fall or may be forced to sell their homes or take money from their food budget in order to pay their courcil tax.
We aim to help by providing the cost to cover the expenses for those that can't afford the bedroom tax. To do this we need a method of contacting them, so we aim to use some of this money to set up a website to do just this. Then 100% of the remaining funds will do directly to those who need it most. While continuing to host a variety of different fundraisers in our local area throughout the summer, in order to continue to help people cover the cost of the bedroom tax and increase the number of people will support.
Please support our cause by donating and sending a strong message to my local MP, the Work and Pensions Secreatary Iain Duncan Smith, that such injustice will not be tolerated.
