We are delighted to have been awarded onward funding from the General London Authority (GLA) for Food Roots 2 .  The aim of the Food Roots programme is to help food partnerships across London to develop and embed more sustainable and resilient ways of working to better support food insecure Londoners.

So far with the GLA's support we have:

• Co-produced a comprehensive data framework to measure the impact of both crisis food provision and wraparound support, ensuring our efforts are targeted and effective.
• Upskilled foodbank volunteers to provide form-filling support, for Healthy Start Campaign increasing access to essential nutrition for families. Supported the Pension Tax Credit Campaign by collaborating across the borough to ensure eligible residents receive their winter fuel allowance.
• Run informative signposting workshops for food bank volunteers on Benefits and Debt Health, Wellbeing Immigration, No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) Housing and Homelessness

“With funding and support from the GLA’s Food Roots Programme, we’re delighted to be working with some of Haringey’s emergency food providers to co-develop exciting data standards, whilst creating longer-term plans to empower residents with wraparound support; a ‘whole system’ approach to tackling food poverty.”Cam Fitzwilliam-GreyHead of Healthier and Stronger Communities at the Bridge Renewal Trust
