About

Fair Food Futures UK brings together powerful photographs and stories shared by families with children living in Tower Hamlets, London, and Bradford, exploring how communities are responding to the challenges of accessing food and support.

The exhibition is part of a research project funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). It explores questions including: Why do families go to community food organisations like food banks, pantries and community kitchens? What do they find when they get there? How do they see the future? In this exhibition, families share their experiences of food help, dignity and belonging.

For over a year, three researcher-volunteers have been embedded in nine community food organisations in Bradford and Tower Hamlets, working alongside local teams and families. Forty families have shared their stories through interviews, photography and video, offering unique insights into how people navigate food insecurity and community support.
