Situation
Everyone has the right to food but 8.4 million people in the UK experience food insecurity. Household food insecurity is caused by poverty, not by too little food. Key drivers of household food insecurity are low income caused by the operation and adequacy of the benefits system, low wages and insecure work; and the rising cost of living. Due to the events of the pandemic food insecurity is growing. More households are now struggling to access the basic foods they need each week.
Solution
Your Local Pantry a sustainable and long-term solution to food poverty through community-led food club pantries allow people’s budgets to go further, provide breathing space for struggling families; offer fresh food to households that would otherwise be limited to cheap, less healthy food; and tackle social isolation.
