The hunger marches of the 1920s will be reenacted by food campaigners in Rhondda Cynon Taf this weekend in a call to the UK Government to end food poverty.

Nearly 100 years ago, miners and other trade unionists set off from the Rhondda to London in the very first hunger march.

They were fighting against government cuts and a lack of aid to the poorest in society.

This month, trade unionists and allies are again marching to campaign against hunger and the cost-of-living crisis and are calling on locals to support their efforts.
