Food insecurity is when a person is without reliable and regular access to enough affordable, nutritious, healthy food. As the cost of living crisis pushes more people into poverty, more and more people are affected by food insecurity.

Across the country there are numerous organisations that focus on helping people experiencing food insecurity, from food banks to food co-operatives, however, the question that pops up again and again – could a more collaborative approach have a bigger impact?
The Felix Project, Peabody and HACT came together to create the The London Food Insecurity Network (LFIN) which focuses on bringing together as many London housing associations and voluntary and community organisations as possible to develop a collective plan and impactful interventions to address food insecurity for social housing residents across the capital.
No social housing resident should go to bed hungry. That is the objective of the London Food Insecurity Network – a collaboration of groups and organisations across London set-up to tackle food poverty.
