Case studies

Learn about what local UK food poverty alliances are up to, their challenges and successes

Food poverty alliances receiving financial support from Food Power regularly report on the progress of their work in ‘snapshots’ so that others can easily read about their experiences and learning. Alliances aren’t able to include all of their work in these summaries, so they typically focus on just one aspect of their project.
