Mark and Abbie Butcher run Amazing Graze, a pizzeria which hands out free food and advice to those who need it in Blackpool.

One of the poorest parts of the UK, with jobs seasonal and dependent largely on tourist income, Blackpool has been left reeling from the pandemic and the restaurant has seen heightened levels of demand it is struggling to cope with. As the government pursues its hallmark ‘levelling up’ policy, Mark and Abbie question what the slogan actually means as they deal with the effects of the £20 cut in universal credit on some of the town’s most vulnerable, and prepare for the challenging winter ahead.

I’ve watched all these shows on the BBC about what’s happening in Britain and this man Mark is the only one that knows what’s going on
What ABOUT YOUR OWN HOMELESS DYING ON THE STREETS THE ILLEGAL INVADERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL
This guy is now our local Reform candidate a complete charlatan. Don’t be fooled
Mark is now the Reform candidate for the upcoming by-election. Let’s see if this could be Reform’s best result.
thatchers diabolical legacy continues to linger on. safeguarded by cynical sunak's cost of greed crisis.
Shame on you.
Tory Britain.
Things won't change, get better in these areas until people start sending their children to school and get an education.
Yet we are giving economic immigrants 5 star hotel rooms. The Guardian hates the white working class. The only reason they are doing this is to make a political point.
You need to make sure you don’t fall for conservatives. You need to make sure you don’t fall from labour. We need change vote for RuPaul
al these labour supporters on this page blame the toires when its a labour town , going out spending 200.00 quid on 3 trees . layabouts
When we went, we were the only two Aussies in the place on a wet windy Thursday night in early May….we were served by Danny, and Alfie played us INXS and Prince!
When we arrived, the guys welcomed us in…I was wearing shorts….I asked if it was ok to come in wearing shorts….
Alfie said "that's alright, we like white legs in Blackpool" ( I am quite pale).
Then Alfie clicked his fingers in Danny's direction and said "music, maestro!"
That's when the INXS and Prince kicked in.
This is a fantastic service, essential for so many peope in the local area…and the group that run it are just brilliant 💚💜
Blackpool has so many holidaymakers each year ,were does all the money go to !!
Amazing the poorest most overlooked people in England are white . Foreign illegal immigrants are housed in hotels and well feed . What a disgrace your country is .
I order food from Pizza Grazie all the time and always add a couple of pay it forward pizzas. It's great what they do, great food and it's nice being able to share the food with others.
He deserves to be a prime minister
What a great guy. 👏👏👏👏👏
I rent in AMERICA.
Britain at it's Best..thx everyone 👍🇬🇧
What a lovely man this is…caring so much for the people that are down on their luck. If I lived in Blackpool I would help you..Thank you for helping all these people.❤❤
The council get rich off of you.
I feel bad for the true residents of Blackpool, as businesses do not put money back into the town, all local councils see is money, not helping the residents. I bet that the council members have big wages, company cars, all expenses paid for by Tax payers money, a big bonus at Christmas, a big party at Christmas all paid for by tax payer cash, big houses with subsidised mortgages from the tax payer, a closed shop union, clothing allowance, child care allowance, paid holidays, free travel on the transit system,. need I go on???…. get real people the council do not care about you unless it's voting time. dothefivedothefive dothefivedothefive does the council clear the snow off of your path? are you taxed on rubbish collection, do they fight for your rights on bedroom tax? do they lobby against the rising cost of food? No they fill their bank account with your money.
A horrible drug infested life..what a perfect description of addiction! So glad he found his niche..this fellow is giving back. That's what it's about!
Toxic matriarchal societies don't value male suffering. Devalued disposable male lives. The Americanised linguistic choice of this volunteer is very offputting. It's sixth form not high school.
Anglican Church. £1000 per person per annum deduction for 34M people was extremely beneficial because it saved pound from devaluation and prevented excess currency printing by a total sum of £34B net.
You are wonderful charitable people! May the Lord bless you and all in need- and call on everybody and persuade all of us to do what we can for our fellow human being!Prayers and blessings!🙏💒 woman
