View this email in a web browser New blogs w/b 17th December 2012 Family Food Survey reveals poorest struggling to afford their 5 a day Rising food prices are putting more pressure on household budgets. Katie Schmuecker highlights some of the worrying statistics in today's Family Food Survey. Austerity should not stop us building sustainable homes In this age of austerity, sustainability is going out of fashion. But the house-building industry must remain committed to providing low-cost, high-standard homes which reduce the carbon footprint, argues John Hocking, Executive Director at the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust. Why is the Winter Fuel Allowance a big issue? Because of its name The Winter Fuel Allowance provokes emotional responses, preventing proper debate about universal benefits. What did we learn in 2012? The end of the year is often a time for reflection. So what did we learn in 2012? 60% of young people are 'often or sometimes lonely' When most people think of loneliness they think of an elderly person, but as Jamal Blades discusses, older people aren't always the ones who are lonely. Why are local authorities so nervous about their funding? The funding settlement for local authorities for next year was announced yesterday, and it's lead to outcry from councils. Why? 2012 review – are we looking at a decade of destitution? The reality and the politics of poverty look increasingly desperate and frightening as 2012 comes to a close, says Julia Unwin.

Will the UK topple down a 'welfare cliff' in three months' time?

The US turmoil over fiscal matters has a mirror in the crisis approaching the welfare state, argues Dan Silver, as use of UK food banks rises six-fold

How should we live and work in 2013 to hold this reality together with the promise and challenge of the prophet?

Guard my common good:
Do what's right and do it in the right way,
For salvation is just around the corner,
my setting-things-right is about to go into action
(Isaiah 56, the Message)
