Sustainable Food Systems. We will develop the emergent Food Network that has come together as a response to emerging reliance on food support, to build closer relationships across providers of food support and ensure a sustainable offer for those in food poverty. We will reduce the dependence on emergency and crisis food support, including vouchers, food parcels and cooked meals, that has increased during the pandemic by ensuring affordable alternatives are available and visible. We aim to connect those presenting in need of emergency food with wider support wherever they present and develop alternative models of providing food support. We will harness the resources of business and communities to maximise the use of donations to support our community offer and facilitate a more strategic and sustainable use of both charitable donations and government funds. We will learn from the Covid response which mobilised a diverse range of partners in distributing more than £1.5m of government grant through both direct support and strategic investments to benefit those in financial need. We will identify and secure resources to complement our core Support Funds offer, building the capacity of the community and strategic partners, such as Stockport Credit Union, to offer assistance and ensure sufficient resources to support those in greatest need through the Support Funds offer We will ensure enhancements to the local welfare offer are in place to support those currently benefiting from the furlough and universal credit uplift when these schemes are forecast to end, including support for those at risk of fuel poverty over the winter period. A full twelve month review of the Support Funds scheme, launched in September 2020, will take place in September 2021. This will encompass the first full year of the scheme and will consider trends, measure variance from the previous local welfare offer, and assess the impacts of Covid- 19 related funding streams. The review will also consider the Support Fund model designed pre-pandemic, and will assess the changes to the model implemented because of Covid-19, the impact of these changes and will make recommendations on the future practice of the Support Fund Coordinator role. In addition to the twelve-month review the scheme will be reviewed against the Greater Manchester Poverty Action Local Welfare Provision Toolkit to ensure that the scheme aligns with its principles and implements best practice. Support Funds are also included in this year's programme...
