SQUEEZE fans raised 83kg in food donations as well as more than £600 in cash as the band's Food For Thought tour visited Southampton. 

The tour, from the British music legends, is in support of the new six-track EP Food For Thought. The title track, written by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, is a pithy commentary on society, the cost of living crisis, and the increasing reliance on food banks.  

"It’s terrible and wrong that so many people have no choice other than the help that food banks provide to feed their families. That there are so many people who have to choose between food and heating is a disgrace," said Glenn Tilbrook.  

In addition to the donations to independent foodbanks from the EP, Squeeze are also continuing their relationship with the anti-poverty charity The Trussell Trust.

Throughout the tour, Squeeze and their fans have been supporting the charity which provides emergency food and support while campaigning for change to end the need for food banks in the UK.
