FoodWise is pleased to announce the Building Food Resilience Toolkit is now available to download!

The toolkit introduces the idea of ‘building food resilience’ and provides an overview of options available for people who require food access support. It also offers useful information and signposting advice to help organisations explore people’s longer-term food options and to deliver effective food aid provision.

The toolkit has been co-produced with food aid providers, building upon existing partnerships to ensure a city-wide approach to providing compassionate, practical help to support people who are experiencing food insecurity, to build resilience, so they are less likely to need food support in the future.

How to use:

The toolkit has been designed for use by frontline workers and volunteers to support them in delivering their service. It also contains useful information for organisations providing or looking to provide food aid provision.

The toolkit is divided into three sections:

1. About food aid provision and resilience
2. Signposting to services which can offer support
3. Information for food aid providers

We have created two versions of the toolkit: a complete version and an abridged version, without the signposting details. Both are available to download.

We recommend printing off the signposting details so frontline workers and volunteers have easy access to the information about available services.

We hope you find this toolkit helpful and we encourage you to share it with your colleagues.

In the autumn, FoodWise will be hosting another webinar on ‘Building Food Resilience’ – we hope you’ll be able to attend and share your experiences of using the toolkit.
