Scrap delivery charges and lower minimum spends

To the CEO's of Tesco, Asda, Sainbury's, Morrisons, Iceland, Waitrose and Ocado,

As millions of people have moved to online deliveries during the lockdowns disabled and older people, and those with long-term health conditions, and families are struggling to make ends meet and pay the week's shopping bill.

Sandip Sodha (pictured above), lead campaigner explains that "many Disabled people cannot get out of the house and shop on the high street and have no choice but to pay supermarket delivery charges. In some cases, people have to make an unenviable choice of heating the home or putting food on the table. Others are being pushed into debt."

In response to a recent Inclusion London survey a participant wrote "Food shopping each week costs far more than buying it from the shops myself and is often so short-dated it has to be used in half a week and then I have to spend more on takeaway" and on top of that is the "extra for home delivery."

Therefore, we are urging supermarkets to scrap supermarket delivery charges and reduce the minimum order to £5. This will make an enormous difference to tens of thousands of disabled people, older people and people with long-term health conditions.
