About us

We advocate on behalf of independent food aid providers across the UK

We publish data, reports, briefings, open letters, infographics, provide evidence, co-produce local 'Worrying About Money?' resources across the UK, and appear in national and local media. We call for a 'cash first' or income-focused approach to food insecurity.
