Hunger doesn’t wait for guidance

Hunger doesn’t wait for guidance. We have been waiting for information about how the Government wishes the support some of the most vulnerable children during this lockdown period, and we are still waiting. The support offered has been made through various last minute decisions, u-turns, and inconsistencies for the duration of the pandemic. This is not the way to support families.

Government u-turns on holiday food support

Over the weekend, the Government announced in the media that they were now (despite earlier votes to not) going to support vulnerable families and children at risk of food insecurity over the winter months. We were, of course, delighted with this decision as it recognises the increased need that families are experiencing right now. It has something that we have been watching closely in recent months.

Addressing Food Insecurity in Southampton

Today, the Holiday Provision Steering Group met for their quarterly meeting; and the first opportunity this term to regroup and understand the current need in regards to family food insecurity in general, and specifically, in the school holidays for Southampton. The topic certainly has captured the nation lately, and its important for the local community for those supporting families to continue to do so with partnership.
