Food Poverty: “Young voices have so much power to impact policymakers”

It’s London Challenge Poverty Week! This week is an opportunity for all those who care about poverty in the capital to come together to increase the visibility of poverty in London and encourage positive debate and discussion. Find out more here: https://www.instagram.com/4in10london?igsh=MXh4bTl1MHY0M2J0cg== We are the largest provider of holiday food and activities in the capital, working with community partners in every borough to ensure children facing the biggest barriers not only survive but thrive. With 13 weeks away from school each year, we’re the bridge between term times that keeps young Londoners growing. As part of #LDNChallengePoverty week, we are joined by Shona and Mirzan from The Food Foundation, who work to change food policy and business practice to ensure everyone can afford and access a healthy and sustainable diet. This important conversation touches on how food poverty impacts young people, the stigma of free school meals and how young Londoners can be empowered to talk about these issues. The views and opinions expressed by the guests in this podcast are their own and do not reflect the Mayor's Fund for London. Edited by Courtney Brown.Find out more about the Mayor’s Fund for London: https://www.mayorsfundforlondon.org.uk/  Find out more about The Intersect: https://www.mayorsfundforlondon.org.uk/youth-engagement/the-intersect/
