Our local group in Sheffield are pleased to invite you to their AGM – their first face -to-face meeting since the end of lockdown.

The doors will open at 6.30pm and we start promptly at 7pm. Refreshments will be available.

Maria Marshall from the Independent Food Aid Network (IFAN) will speak on:

The growing need for charitable food aid and a ‘cash first’ approach

Maria will tell us about the work of IFAN, the situation on the ground with the rising need for charitable food aid and IFAN’s advocacy for a ‘cash first ‘approach on a local and national level and how food banks have been supporting this.

Later in the meeting we will share our plans for future activities and we would value your input.
