2021 – Exciting year for the Pantry Network, we hired our first members of staff and moved into other local authority areas. We started to establish our networks and partnerships
2022 – Another successful year for TSPN. We have secured funding for a further 3 posts and developed our business case for a Farm project.
2023 – Interest in the Network continues to grow and we now have 21 member pantries across 8 local authority areas. Our core team is now in place and working hard to improve awareness, influence policy and provide critical tailored support to our member pantries. We are able to attend and support a range of events with policy makers including the Glasgow Food Summit, SCVO the Gathering, and Scotland’s Homelessness Conference.
