We are delighted that Newham has been acknowledged as one of London’s leading council's on food security, ranking joint 2nd in the ‘Beyond the Food Bank’ report and joint 6th in the ‘Good Food For All Londoners’ report out of London’s 33 councils.
Since the start of the pandemic we have been working with voluntary, community, faith sector partners, and food surplus charity ‘The Felix Project’, to support thousands of households facing food insecurity.
As a result, this group - the Newham Food Alliance - has used more surplus food (good food that is going to waste) than any local authority in the UK in 2021. If you or someone you know are struggling to get access to the healthy food you need because of financial issues, find out more about how the Newham Food Alliance can offer support here.
