Lancashire County Council is launching a £150,000 ini tiative to tackle food pover ty and make nutritious food more easily available. “Not for profit” organisa

tions active in the county are invited to apply for a share of Lancashire’s £150,000 Food Poverty Small Grants Scheme. The groups will use the
funding to offer people heal th- ier food parcels and recipes, and to help them get train ing to improve their cooking skills. The funds will also help to improve access to advocacy services, such as Citizens Ad vice Bureaux. Coun. Azhar Ali, the coun
ty council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “The thinking behind this initiative is to empower peo ple and community groups to come up with imaginative solutions to tackle food pov erty. “We’re all aware of food
banks providing people with basic provisions. The small grants scheme moves this idea on by giving people ahand
up and not just a hand out. It is not about giving out fund ing for food, but using more strategic approaches to help support the most vulnerable people. “There is a wide range of
organisations working to tackle food poverty. This fund ing provides the opportunity to build on this work, encour- aginggroupsto work together to make a difference. Projects do not necessarily need to be ’new’ or ’innovative’, but they need toshowhowgroups work together and the number of people they’ll reach. “For example, activities
could include mobile cooking schools; education on budget ing and cooking skills; health ier provision of food parcels and cooking equipment for people such as pans and slow cookers." In 2006, the Department of
Health defined food poverty as “the inability to afford, or have access to, the necessary food for a healthy diet. It is about the quality of food as well as quantity. It is not just about
hunger, but also about being
appropriatelynourishedtoat- tain and maintain health. . “When we were develop
ing this initiative, we had the Department of Health’s defi nition of food poverty in mind. Food is not only at the heart of some of our greatest prob
can play a vital role in improv ing our health and wellbeing as well as dealing with some of Lancashire’s most pressing social, economic and environ mental problems. “1 would therefore urge
lems, but also a vital part of the solution. “There’s no doubt that food
‘not for profit’ organisations' to apply for the grant. Up to £20,000 is available for an
individual group, whichwould make a significant contribu tion to supporting some of the most ‘in need’ communi ties and people across Lanca shire.” • To request an application
