Feeding Liverpool has been allocated a proportion of the Household Support Fund to support the food supplies of emergency food providers and community food spaces from 1st April 2025 to 31st August 2025. This is to enable these organisations to continue to support households experiencing food insecurity.
To receive a proportion of this fund, emergency food providers and community food spaces must:
- Fulfil all the criteria on the Eligibility Criteria page of the below survey
- Complete the survey in full
- Agree to provide monitoring data on how this resource has been spent
The full terms of any allocation of funding will be set out in a partnership agreement with Feeding Liverpool.
The primary purpose of this fund is for organisations to purchase food supplies to enable their existing activities to continue. Recognising the increased pressures on organisations in terms of their own energy bills, we are also able to offer eligible organisations a grant of £500 towards these costs.
To enable Feeding Liverpool to make a fair allocation of funds, in the below survey you will be asked to provide data about your regular food support activity during the week Monday 18th November – Sunday 24th November 2024. Please have this information to hand when completing the survey. If this was not a typical week for your organisation, you will be asked to choose another week in November that better represents your typical level of activity. This data will be used to calculate the total number of meals provided by your organisation in this week.
You will be able to provide details about any of the following types of regular food support your organisation provides:
- Emergency food parcels
- Community food spaces (e.g. food pantries, food unions, community markets, community shops etc.)
- Community meals/meals which are includes as part of an activity your organisation regualrly offers
- Any other regualr food support your organisation offers
This funding cannot be used to support food-related activities which are aimed solely at people under 18 years of age (e.g. a primary school breakfast club, holiday provision or after school club etc.).
Unfortunately, without exception, any organisation who submits a survey response after the deadline of 11:59pm on Sunday 9th February will not be eligible for this fund.
Please note, if your organisation received funding via Feeding Liverpool’s Household Support Fund in September 2024, you do still need to complete the below survey to re-apply for this round of funding.
We need to take care not to ‘double fund’ any work; if some of your food support work is in partnership with another organisation (for example, St Andrew’s Community Network or The Big help), please liaise with them about who is best placed to receive the funds for that type of provision.
For any questions, please email Gentian.
