An Ongoing Emergency

Our Food For All participatory action research group (PAR) have recently launched their report into food insecurity experienced by people seeking asylum in the UK. The report also explores and assesses the current provision of support in Glasgow in addressing this issue. This research project was commissioned by the Scottish Government Tackling Food Insecurity Team.

The project brought various stakeholders into discussion and looked to elevate the voices of people with lived experience of the issues in focus. The research employed a co-production methodology.

Voucher pilot report

Govan Community Project delivered a short term, small-scale supermarket voucher pilot from February to end of March 2022 on behalf of the Scottish Government. The goal was to reach communities including people seeking asylum and people who might otherwise have No Recourse to Public Funds and who experience severe financial hardship or destitution, with a primary focus on tackling food insecurity.

This pilot was aimed at gathering data to support the draft national plan to End the Need for Food Banks, alongside the main pilot already being delivered by Citizens Advice Bureau.

'The Life-Making Potential of Community Food Provision for People Seeking Asylum in Scotland'

People seeking asylum in the UK experience systemic barriers to accessing nourishing food. In response to this, movements have emerged to improve food provision for this group, including Govan Community Project’s Food for All Group.
This Master’s dissertation project was a collaboration between Govan Community Project, the Food for All Group and the University of Glasgow. It used a Participatory Action Research informed approach to build on existing work being done by Food for All (FFA), a group of volunteer peer researchers with lived experience of seeking asylum, based in Glasgow.

'The Power of Bringing People Together in Collective Space'

This report outlines the impact of the Food for All Group’s Dignity in Practice workshops for community food provision in Scotland.
