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 is reducing food insecurity for over 29,000 adults and children in 10,000 households across a network of 50 pantries. For households that visit the Pantry each week, their food basket is worth over £20, saving members an average of around £15, which is at least £780 per year. Your donations will ensure that more people have access to fresh and healthy food and cupboard essentials over the winter months when budgets have to stretch more than other times of the year.
