How Leeds FAN works

  • Signposting: local services refer people experiencing food poverty to appropriate food aid providers.
  • Distribution: food from suppliers, supermarkets, shops and individuals reaches food providers, with FareShare playing a key role.
  • Longer term assistance: food providers connect people to groups and services that can help with wider needs.

The original website links to a report about the city response to food insecurity during the pandemic. In this prototype, the report is presented as a clear supporting resource rather than a large front page interruption.
