An expert-led initiative has been launched to address the food poverty facing children and young people in the borough.
With input from world-renowned experts and £20,000 initial funding from the Health Foundation, the “Young People and Food Security” initiative will work with children, teenagers and their families to map the scale of challenges facing Newham households.
The work will shape a programme of interventions to tackle holiday hunger as part of a wider food security strategy, which will be launched in the summer.
