Across the housing sector we see on a daily basis the acute impact of the cost-of-living crisis in our communities. Living costs are soaring and more people than ever before are using food banks. Last year, almost 385,000 in London did so, an increase of over 100,000 from the previous year.
Sponsored by Peabody, the London Food Insecurity Network was founded by HACT and The Felix Project in 2023 to explore more strategic and collaborative responses to addressing food inequality. The network is a broad coalition of housing associations, specialist food partners and providers with an ambitious aim; to ensure that no social housing resident in London goes to bed hungry.
