EBFC 2020-2022 Citywide Community Delivered Meal Impact Report in link below. Over the last 3 years our army of volunteers have cooked and delivered freshly made daily meals throughout Brighton & Hove to our neighbours across the city. Until March this year our meals have been free to anyone who needed a healthy nutritious meal irrespective of postcode or income. We are petitioning for government funding for local and national Community Meals on Wheels to be adequately funded and a statutory service for vulnerable people. It’s an interesting read. https://www.eastbrightonfoodcoop.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/EBFC1-_2HouseofLords_Citywide-Community-Delivered-Meal-Report-2020-2022-1-1.pdf
