About

Leicester City Council awarded a contract to Community Advice and Law Centre Ltd for the FEW1509 - Foodbank plus project, which involves the Division of Public Health working with community organisations to support the mental wellbeing of people dealing with food poverty.

The project provides on-site access to quality information, advice, signposting, and case advocacy at emergency food services.

It has been delivered and achieved positive results, with the provider engaging with food projects in areas of greatest need to ensure best take up.

The need has been consistently high in the most deprived Leicester areas and exacerbated by COVID precautions and cost of living increases.

The existing provider has built links with foodbanks, leading to people in poverty accessing benefits and protecting their mental health through community connectedness.

The work complements the Leicester Energy Action project and free cooking on a budget training delivered by Public Health.

The contract value is £103,000.
