Question Title

* 6. Thinking of Bradford District as a whole, NOT just your specific situation, please consider the list on question 4 and your own ideas. What are the biggest needs of our whole Bradford community?

Feeding Bradford don't have a pot of money, but can work with others to look for funding or to bring in extra support for a project.

Many projects work independently and do not need outside financial support, though we do know that some food banks have needed extra support during this crisis and anticipate some will continue to need it for some time to come.

If you had a limited pot of money, what two actions would you like to see funded/supported across the district in the longer term. Please give just two answers or your own as one of them.

Financial support for food banks longer term

Financial support for meal providers

A co-ordinated project to create an accessible low cost food offer in all low income areas

A co-ordinated approach to better support for those accessing crisis food (advice, outreach etc)

More holiday and out of school food provison

Help with managing money, budgeting, low cost loans etc

Help with learning to cook on a budget

Your idea (as one of your two choices please)

Question Title

* 7. Which if any of these ideas would your project like to be involved in or do more of? Please state briefly what and how you could be involved? (don't worry this is not a firm commitment, so this can be your personal opinion)

Question Title
