Issue - meetings

The Chairman presented a brief report on the 12 VCF organisations in the Food for People in Crisis Partnership providing a range of different services.

The report set out the number of food parcels and cooked meals provided by each organisation during the months of October and November, 2012.

Discussion ensued on the need to collect detailed data to enable a complete picture of the situation/need to be formed.  Completed data returns were also required for the purposes of grant funding.

It was noted that a meeting had been set up to further discuss the issue linking in with the work of the Welfare Reform Group and the anticipated impact of the benefit changes.

Resolved:-  That the report be received and that further updates be submitted.
