Page: Good Food for All

Everyone has a right to healthy and affordable food. Good food for all means ensuring that people experiencing financial crisis or food poverty can access and afford a healthy diet. It means improving food in schools, hospitals and meals on wheels, and in a way that is ‘more than a meal’; good food should be integrated into education, social services and institutional policies. Sustain also works to combat excessive pressure from the advertising and marketing of unhealthy foods and drinks that contribute to poor health.

Reports: Food Power Collective Impact Tracker

The Collective Impact Tracker is a XLSX tool based on a framework of principles, goals and indicators for the type of work food poverty alliances deliver. These are set out in a set of sheets, organised into key categories. Alliances can use this to collect information and data about their progress, using it to systematically collate useful evidence. It is most useful as part of reflections on an alliance’s workings and should help to take stock of current activity and make plans for future activity. The Tackling Food Poverty Together guide provides advice on how to use the Tracker and examples of how it has been used.
