The response from local organisations is to be applauded but hopefully is not necessary as Government have included Food Poverty within their Local Authority funding as has been clearly stated on several occasions. Timing is always a problem but the funding is there so why the knee-jerk reaction we are seeing now?
Possible reason is that……. ‘The government also said it gave £63m to councils – first announced in June – to help people who are struggling to afford food and essentials.
However, the Local Government Association said this funding was intended to be spent before the end of September and had been “outstripped” by demand.’
