Food Poverty

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Food Poverty

An expert panel look at what support is out there for food poverty and holiday hunger.

Felicity Hannah and a panel of experts talk about the increasing number of families unable to access affordable food.

In England and Wales the school summer holiday is just beginning but Scotland and Northern Ireland are already well into their long and, often costly, summer.

But for some families the challenge isn’t just keeping the kids busy, it’s keeping them fed – particularly when food prices are rising.

Felicity Hannah, along with a panel of experts, are looking at what support is out there to help with food poverty and holiday hunger.

Panel:

Dr Megan Blake – Senior Lecturer, Food Security Expert

Billy McGranaghan – Founder of Dad’s House

Jonathan Sharples – Community Support Worker

Reporter: Dan Whitworth

Producer: Amber Mehmood

Editor: Elisabeth Mahy

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
