Responding to food poverty: The Lighthouse Project

How to run a community meal

Since Covid and the cost of living crisis, more people are in food poverty than at any time in recent history.

In response to this, a group of churches in East London set up a project called Lighthouse. They started a foodbank and developed it into a community meal. In this four minute film, Hannah Seekings, who leads the project, shares the three things she thinks it takes to run a food project.

Please let us know if you would like to do something similar.
