Newham Food Security Strategy

Young People and Food Security Strategy

The Young People and Food Security initiative is part of a series of actions to address poverty and inequality by Newham Council. It is underpinned by our Community Wealth Building, Inclusive Economy and Towards a Better Newham strategies.

Building on a raft of measures put in place to support Newham children and families during the Covid-19 pandemic, valued at over £6million to date, the initiative is addressing the impact of food insecurity facing young people in the borough, including holiday hunger.
