Ep 5: Food Bank to Food Club Special Episode Part 1

In this 3-part special, we are sharing extracts from our recent webinar on food banks opening affordable food clubs either in place of, or in addition to, their existing crisis provision. Our speakers include Nic from Focus4Hope in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, John from the West End Food Bank in Newcastle, Louisa from Milton Keynes Food Bank, Robert from Bassetlaw Food Bank, Nina from Sufra North West London in Brent, and Stephen from Newark and Tuxford Food Bank. They will each share their reasons for initiating the shift to affordable food provision as well as their experiences in bringing this to fruition. You will hear about the impact this has had in reducing the long-term need for emergency food parcels as well as the transformative effect it has had on communities. Be sure to check out all three mini-episodes and reach out to us on info@feedingbritain.org with any comments. We'd love to hear from you!
