We remain driven by a social purpose with a mission to create homes and neighbourhoods that we can be proud and the work of the L and Q Foundation is fundamental to this. The L and Q Foundation develop and fund social interventions that improves people’s chances in life and creates opportunities in our communities. Evaluation and previous learning from the Foundation funded projects shows that food poverty and hunger are broad and complex issues impacting on the communities that we serve and that there are numerous routes to tackling it. The L and Q Foundation is looking to tackle food poverty as part of social responsibility in partnership with organisations that have local engagement and delivery models that challenge poverty and create opportunities for individuals and organisations.
