We are the UK network for
independent food aid providers.
The Independent Food Aid Network (IFAN) supports a range of independent food aid organisations while advocating on their behalf at a national level.Our membership includes over 500 independent food banks.
Our vision is of a country without the need for emergency food aid and
in which good food is accessible to all.
