Food Power evaluation report: Peer Mentoring

Food Power aims to transform the way that people in food poverty can access support and create long-term sustainable lives free from hunger. Researchers from Cardiff University have acted as evaluators of the programme across its delivery. This is one of a series of reports focused on years three and four (2019-21), presenting experiences and impacts associated with particular areas of activity. It focuses on experiences of peer mentoring in the North West, drawing on the experiences of three alliances: Knowsley Kitchen, Blackburn with Darwen Food Resilience Alliance, and Foodwise Leeds.
