I am backing a week of action to tackle the growing problem of food poverty in Salford and across Greater Manchester.

Tackling Food Poverty Together is a week of action – a week to raise awareness of the issues and a week to focus on solutions. The week of action is taking place from 13th to 19th October 2014.
