Addressing shame and stigma in foodbank use

We know that shame and stigma around food project use is still a live issue in our city, and we want to support food projects in taking steps to help increase dignity and decrease feelings of shame and stigma for clients using their services.

We undertook a review of shame and stigma in foodbank and food project use to investigate how the two were linked.

Read our report about shame and stigma and foodbank use.

We have put also together a short toolkit of steps that food projects can take to help increase dignity and decrease feelings of shame and stigma amongst their service users.
