| description | Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine how food aid providers in Sussex and Southwest London responded and managed during the pandemic.
Methodological approach
Our methodological approach consists of three inter-related layers. A qualitative description research approach based on naturalistic inquiry, was used, supplemented by site visits and personal observations.
Findings
The pandemic catalysed dramatic, often positive, changes to the provision of food aid, with a move away from the traditional food bank model. It brought about increased coordination and oversight, as well as the upscaling of capabilities, infrastructure, and provisions.
Originality/value
The paper contributes to the literature on food aid in the UK. It provides evidence for how providers are transforming the sector for the better and potentially helping to deal with the cost-of-living crisis.
Funding statement: The research has been supported by a small research grant from the Centre for Research into Communities, Identities and Difference (CResCID), and a London Met Research Transformation grant. |
