Have Your Say on Food Security and Disability Benefits

13th April 2026

Two important national conversations are taking place this spring, giving carers, disabled people and community organisations the chance to share their experiences and influence future policy.

These online events are free to attend and open to anyone with an interest in food insecurity, disability benefits and social justice.

Right to Food UK Commission – Call for Evidence (Lunchtime Meeting)

The Right to Food UK Commission is gathering evidence about people’s experiences of food insecurity and access to affordable, nutritious food.

Thursday, May 7

12:30 PM - 1:30 PM

Online

An opportunity to:

• Learn more about the Commission’s work
• Hear why lived experience evidence is so important
• Find out how individuals and organisations can contribute
• Food insecurity affects many carers and the people they care for, particularly in the context of rising living costs, reduced income and health‑related barriers. Sharing real experiences can help shape stronger national recommendations.
