Today HACT joined Peabody and The Felix Project to get together and share the latest impact update of the London Food Insecurity Network. With 20,000 people supported through food provision this year, it was a great opportunity to celebrate the success of the network. Although food insecurity remains a huge challenge in London and beyond, there was hope and positivity for collaboration and a shift to community focused initiatives. A huge thank you to Sahil Khan and Rebecca Rieley for chairing the session, and our fantastic speakers and panellists Damien C., Lesley Watson from MTVH, Andrew Forsey OBE and David Adams.
