Description
Communities in Bedford Borough, and across the UK, are feeling the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis. Rising prices, stagnant earnings and limited financial aid, are making it tough for individuals and families to afford everyday essentials, including food. Evidence from the Institute of Health Equity, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Resolution Foundation highlight the alarming impact of this crisis on both short- and long-term health. The number of people living in absolute poverty is projected to rise, affecting an estimated 30% of children by 2023/24.
In Bedford (2020/21), it was reported that nearly a third of children are living in poverty after housing costs, with ethnically diverse communities disproportionately affected, widening health inequalities. Access to affordable nutritious food is becoming increasingly challenging, leading to reliance on cheap, unhealthy options and for some there is a risk of going hungry. Many experience other barriers to healthy food, in terms of the means to store, prepare and cook.
Everyone, especially children should be guaranteed a nutritious meal and not be at risk of going hungry. It is vital that we provide support to those who need it, without stigma. Moreover, it's crucial to create a healthier and more sustainable food environment for the long term.
This is Round 2 of the Grant Funding. Organisations that were successful in Round 1 of the funding can not apply for Round 2.
