End Hunger Announce October Conferance

End Hunger has announced that this October they will have their first End Hunger UK Week, starting on Monday, October 15.

End Hunger will have a week of events, campaigns and activism to get the message out that no one in the UK should have to go to bed hungry. In that time, they say they will be asking people to take part in activities around the country. Put the dates into your diary say organizers and think about ways you can hold policy-makers to account in your area.

National conference

As part of End Hunger UK Week, End Hunger will be having their second national conference on World Food Day, Tuesday, October 16. The conference will be held at Central Hall Westminster.

Last year End Hunger claim they had over 150 people from across the food movement attending, and speakers including experts in policy and campaigning as well as those with lived experience of poverty. Coming out of the conference they had a renewed focus on campaigning against holiday hunger, and for measurement of household food insecurity.

This year the organizers say we will be even bigger, giving people an opportunity to learn about the issues, get involved in their campaigns, and speak directly to policy-makers.

Since the launch of their petition to fix Universal Credit End Hunger  have had an unprecedentedly positive response. With online signatures alone reaching over 1,000 in just the first week and hundreds of paper petitions being downloaded, End Hunger are excited about the impact of the voice of the anti-hunger movement being heard by policy-makers.
