NEWS FROM OUTSIDE OF OUR FOUNDATION
There is always so much happening regarding food poverty and insecurity and the cost of living crisis shows little signs of improving right now. But there is also so much fantastic work being done to help those that are struggling to feed themselves and their families as well as ensuring the food they eat is nutritious. Whether community cooking initiatives, large scale food rescue and re-distribution, food pantries, food banks, gleaning organisations rescuing surplus food and many more it is important that they too get the support they need to continue.
In addition there are those fighting for change in how our food system operates, lobbying parliament, campaigning for free school meals and a sustainable food system.
