End Hunger Conferance

End Hunger has been actively campaigning to make a difference on holiday hunger over the summer break, including a meeting at City Hall in London and activists sending over 150 postcards to MPs asking them to tackle holiday hunger.

Next week there will be a chance to persuade the government to step up to the plate on the issue, with Frank Field MP presenting a bill on 5 September that would see funding for every local authority to end holiday hunger - along the lines of the Welsh Assembly Government’s Food and Fun project. The UK has the highest level of childhood food insecurity in the EU it is important we take steps to tackle food poverty.

End Hunger national conference

The End Hunger conference is coming together with leading academics, activists, foodbank volunteers and cross-party MPs. 

If you’re working for food justice in your community, join End Hunger on 17 October. You’ll learn about plans for the End Hunger UK campaign in 2018, and how you can help build cross-party support in Parliament for ending hunger in the UK. There will be high-profile speakers, policy discussion, and workshops to give you the skills you need to help build a powerful movement for food justice where you are.
