Long Term Provision

It is absolutely essential that everyone who is engaging in tackling food poverty seeks to help vulnerable individuals deal with their longer term needs. In order to do this Leeds FAN aims to value efforts that are already been made by those who are trying to tackle food poverty, to help vulnerable people move forward. Very much part of this is signposting people to initiatives that can help people tackle an addiction, deal with debt and/or unemployment, access training and education, connect to a particular community, access appropriate housing etc…

Leeds FAN aims to stimulate more effective signposting to services that can help vulnerable individuals access longer term provision. Two key parts of this are relaying information to people who are tackling food poverty, as well as providing training events where people can network and hear about initiatives that help people deal with some of the challenges that I have mentioned above.
