Behind Closed Doors: Britain’s food insecurity crisis exhibition

Simon Shaw
Former Head of Food Poverty Programme for the Food Power. Simon Shaw has now left Sustain.

Simon coordinated Food Power, a four-year programme supporting food poverty alliances to tackle food poverty in their areas. The programme focused on highlighting and encouraging sustainable responses to food poverty, particularly where they address the root causes of food poverty.

Simon also instigated and managed Sustain's Meals on Wheels campaign, which aimed to secure the policies and services that would support thousands of older people every day to stay independent in their own homes and enrich their lives.

Prior to working at Sustain, Simon was the lead officer for the London Assembly’s Zero Hunger City investigation into food poverty in the capital. Simon has also held a number of roles in the third and public sector, working to influence policy and practice in a range of areas, including inequality and poverty, disability and ageing, health and social care, social security, and employment and skills. Simon has a BA from the University of Cambridge (French and Italian).
