Abstract

We examine how children’s centres in a major city in England responded to food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic by helping to run ‘FOOD Clubs’ to support families. Drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with children’s centre staff, we analyse how clubs were organised, why people joined them, and the range of benefits parents derived from them. We extend the literature on food insecurity which focuses heavily on the rise of foodbanks. Our data also informs broader policy debates around supporting parents in poverty, effective early years provision and the challenges facing families experiencing food insecurity.

危机时期的儿童中心、家庭和粮食不安全

我们研究了新冠肺炎大流行期间，英格兰一个大城市的儿童中心如何通过帮助运营“食物俱乐部”来支持家庭，从而应对粮食不安全问题。根据对儿童中心工作人员的半结构化访谈数据，我们分析了俱乐部是如何组织的，人们为什么加入俱乐部，以及父母从中获得的一系列好处。我们扩展了关于粮食不安全的文献，这些文献主要关注粮食银行的兴起。我们的数据还为围绕支持贫困父母、有效的早期教育以及经历粮食不安全的家庭面临的挑战展开的更广泛的政策辩论提供了信息。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
