Summary of report content

Healthwatch Kent listened to feedback from various local Foodbanks and heard that they would value the opportunity to collaborate more in order to share ideas and solutions to common issues.

In partnership with Engaging Kent, they have planned a workshop to bring Foodbanks together from across Kent, on 2nd March 2018.

Topics for discussion include: mental health challenges, lack of Police support and the reliance on Foodbank staff to advocate for vulnerable people.
