Right To Food UK Commission
How To Get Involved
There are many ways for you to get involved in the work of the Right To Food UK Commission:
1. Submit Evidence to the Commission:
We are collecting evidence from individuals, community leaders, community groups, non-government organisations, civil society organisations, academics, food service providers, health and social workers, activists and more. This is an opportunity to contribute your experiences and ideas to help reduce the numbers of people who go to bed hungry in the UK. Your inputs will contribute to the Commission’s roadmap to Right to Food legislation, which will use evidence submitted to develop an Action Plan for the UK to make this a reality by 2030. Submit your evidence here.
2. Community (Individual) Voices - Share your views:
We really want to hear from people with lived experience of food insecurity. Please share your views about feeding yourselves and your families and help to shape the work of the Right To Food UK Commission.
3. Ask your MP to support Early Day Motion 2678:
You can ask your own MP to sign Early Day Motion 2678 in support of the Right To Food UK Commission.
Look up your MP using the UK Parliament “Find Your MP” tool. Use your postcode to find your MP and their contact details.
Email them in your own words - a short, personal message is powerful.
Use the wording below as a starting point if you wish:
“As your constituent, I’m asking you to support Early Day Motion 2678 tabled by Ian Byrne MP on the work of the Right to Food UK Commission. Everyone should have secure access to good food, and I believe Parliament has a vital role in making this a reality. Please add your name to EDM 2678 and show your support for the Commission’s work.”
Tell us when you’ve contacted them. This helps us track national momentum and identify where more engagement is needed. You can do this by copying in Commission Vice Chair Ian Byrne MP to your email using ian.byrne.mp@parliament.uk
4. Deliver your own workshop session to feed into the Commission:
Another great way to get involved is to organise and deliver your own workshop/session to feed into the work of the Commission. We have prepared a ‘Workshop-in-a-box’ toolkit comprising a ready-to-go Slide Deck and a step-by-step Facilitator Guide to support you.
