In today's episode, Andrew is joined by Jo Benham-Brown who is the Business Development and Communities Manager for Key Community in South Shields. Together, they discuss the ways in which the Key Community Bus provides more than simply good food to its community and the importance of helping people have autonomy over their lives as well as building aspirations.

This episode forms part of a mini-series marking 10 years since the All Party Parliamentary Group Report into Hunger in the UK and the setting up of Feeding Britain’s first projects and pilots. As part of this series, we will reflect on the big challenges, ideas and programmes that have emerged in the last ten years whilst looking ahead at what action is required to end the mass dependence on food parcels in the UK. We will hear from key partners who contributed to the parliamentary report or became a pilot project created as part of the report’s findings. This series contributes to the Feeding Britain podcast series which offers insights into eliminating hunger in the UK. Feeding Britain combines practical, policy, and research expertise in the fight against hunger, and we will hear from frontline projects, parliamentarians, and academic specialists on the work they undertake with Feeding Britain to eliminate hunger and its root causes from the UK.
