Food poverty and insecurity training

The Beans on Toast Group, made up of people with lived experience, has developed a training programme about food poverty and insecurity.

The aim of the training is to raise awareness and educate staff and volunteers across all sectors about food poverty and insecurity.

All training has been developed and delivered by people with lived experience, offering their invaluable perspective on food poverty and insecurity and how staff and volunteers can use this insight to continue developing their services to meet people’s needs.
