We make change at three levels:

1. Establishing and supporting regional partnerships

We work in practical ways to combat hunger in communities across the UK, through our regional partnerships. These are coalitions of local organisations – charities, community groups, schools, local authorities, social enterprises and others – who come together to take joint action to help eliminate hunger and its root causes.

Using Feeding Britain’s framework for action, we work with our regional partners to implement projects across four areas: Affordable Food Clubs, Healthy Holidays, Fuel Banks and Pathways From Poverty.

2. Building a national network

We bring our regional partners together as a national network to share knowledge, exchange good practice, and identify and act on common issues. Partners share their data and information about emerging issues they are seeing on the ground, as well as how they are responding to those issues, so that we can amplify these voices and respond effectively as a joint movement to the drivers of hunger.

You can view best practice guides and resources in our What Works Centre here.

3. Gaining systemic change

We know that however hard community-led projects work to support people in crisis, many of the root causes of hunger need to be addressed through changes in policy and legislation at a national level. We take the lessons and evidence from our regional partners about what is causing hunger in their communities, and use this knowledge to seek systemic changes that will alleviate, and ultimately eliminate, hunger. We work closely with a cross-party group of MPs and Peers, as well as ministers and officials, to make sure decision makers are aware of the real situation for people at risk of hunger today, and what can be done to bolster their incomes and living standards. Find out more about our policy and research work here.

By working on these three levels, Feeding Britain is building a movement to alleviate and eliminate hunger. But we can’t do it alone. Find out more about joining our network here, or supporting our work here.
