Situation
Our recipe kits provide an extra meal to families who are food insecure, whereby they are unable to consume an adequate quality or sufficient quantity of food for health. The number of households in Bristol experiencing food insecurity has increased from last year (from 8.1% to 8.3%). This is due to the cost of living crisis, including the fastest pace of food price inflation for over 40 years and the surge in energy costs which is having a devastating effect on our community.
