Five London boroughs awarded food poverty action plan funding

The Greater London Authority has awarded funding to Croydon, Enfield, Merton, Redbridge and Tower Hamlets to develop food poverty action plans. Thanks to funding from Trust for London, Sustain will advise and assist the boroughs with their plans over the next six months.

Sustain will also share the experience and learning of the five boroughs with other councils in London and beyond.

This initiative follows on from London Food Link’s Beyond the Food Bank 2016 report, which identified that only one third of London boroughs already have, or are developing, a food poverty action plan.

More recently, we published a short guide to developing food poverty action plans based on the experiences of local areas that have already produced food poverty needs assessments and/or food poverty action plans.
