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.
