CFHS webinar: cash-first approaches to food insecurity
Update 30 November 2022 – webinar recording available
What can community food initiatives do to prevent food insecurity and promote cash-first responses?
In the last few years, many community food initiatives and food aid organisations have tried to get beyond providing food aid by redirecting people to services that provide income maximisation support such as benefits advice or emergency support.
In this webinar we heard from Diane Lambie from the Scottish Government Social Justice team, Fiona Rae from Community Food Initiatives North East and Chris Mantle from Edinburgh Community Food.
