As food banks face their most challenging winter on record, it's clearer than ever that responding to poverty with emergency food parcels is neither sustainable nor effective. IFAN is calling for an urgent change of approach from governments, donors and frontline support workers.
This session is an opportunity for individuals and organisations to learn about a cash first approach to food insecurity and how this can help us to resist the entrenchment of food banks and work towards a future without the need for charitable food aid.
Date: Tuesday, 5th Dec 2023 11:00 - 12:30 GMT
Location: Online
Who is this for?
Money guiders who may need to refer clients to an independent food bank and want to better understand how the people they work with are supported, and/or want to understand more about the bigger picture of food insecurity and ways to fight it.
