Working in partnership: Preventing food crisis through countywide collaboration
Facilitated by Communities 1st, Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) along with Hertfordshire Community Foundation and Citizens Advice are bringing together food providers from across the county in an online meeting to explore how they can work in partnership to support residents who may be struggling financially and to help prevent people from becoming reliant on crisis support. Food providers play a vital role as trusted, early touch organisations who often see the first signs that someone is facing hardship. By connecting food access with wider financial help, advice services, and resilience building support, HCC can create a more coordinated pathway that ensures people get the right help at the right time.
