How can community food workers make the services they provide more understanding of the experience of asylum seekers, and more accessible given everyone’s varied cultural and religious food needs? Govan Community Project’s Food for All Group answered these questions by co-creating easy to understand educational resources for those in the sector and running training sessions.In this podcast episode, some of the group who worked on co-producing the resources share why the resources are needed and how they worked together to create them, some of the struggles experienced as an asylum seeker navigating community food services, and the impact that they hope their work will have. This is a useful companion listen to using the resources, which can be found on the Dignity in Practice website: https://dignityinpractice.org/going-further
