A community initiative in Chinbrook has been feeding people struggling from food poverty throughout the pandemic. The hyper-local initiative is funded by the Big Local programme, which focuses on areas of deprivation across the UK with a historic lack of investment. Chinbrook Action Residents Team (ChART) looks into specific community initiatives that would benefit local residents. Marie Griffin, community project manager with ChART, said: “It’s all about getting people involved and to take ownership of what happens in their local area.” ChART’s Community Food Project was set up in late 2019 for those struggling with food poverty. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, it has quickly become one of ChART’s key services to the local community.
