Ending the need for food banks: consultation on a draft national plan

This consultation seeks views on the Scottish Government's vision and approach to ending the need for food banks as a primary response to food insecurity, and invites further suggestions on what more can be done to shape a national plan. Views are sought by 25 January 2022.


Aim of the national plan

4. This plan seeks to (a) present a summary view of action underway to prevent poverty, and (b) set out what more we intend to do using the powers that we have to end the need for food banks as a primary response to food insecurity.

Our activities are underpinned by a human rights approach in which we prioritise action that prevents poverty and promotes cash-first responses alongside holistic support services where needed.
