The Food Ambassador Programme is for volunteers aged between 14 to 25, many of whom have lived experience of food insecurity and can report from the front line on how the food system can be made fairer and should be made fairer. The residential is their opportunity to meet up and share their experience and their wins in a year of campaigning.Click here for more information on the food ambassadors and here for the Food Foundation newsletter.
