The challenge of food insecurity has received increasing attention in recent years, and children are more likely than adults to be in food insecure households. Newham’s ‘We Are Food Secure 11-19’ project set out to find out more specifically about the experiences of young people, who sometimes receive less attention than other age groups, and to tailor interventions specially for them.
Funded by the Health Foundation in partnership with the Local Government Association, the project formed part of the wider Shaping Places for Healthier Lives programme.
We were invited to capture the messages from engagement with young people.
