This report updates the Health and Wellbeing
(HWB) Board on the work of BCP’s Access to Food Partnership
since October 2021. It has grown into a thriving collaborative
network, with a breadth of partners, working together with
place-based and strength-based approach to empower and build
community resilience. The continued impact of the cost of living
crisis has put significant pressure on frontline workers and food
projects, but together they have shown strength in their ability to
co-create new neighbourhood initiatives to respond to the evolving
needs of local communities. The Partnership is now in the final
year of its 3-year funding from the National Lottery Community
Grant.
