How can we make the right to food real in Scotland – and in Perth & Kinross?

Nourish Scotland and partners invite you to join a workshop for managers, practitioners and wider stakeholders working across food, advice, community, local authority and health services. Together, we’ll explore how we can bring dignity, rights and cash-first approaches to life in our communities.

This interactive workshop aims to:

  • Build a shared understanding of the right to food in Scotland and Perth & Kinross
  • Facilitate awareness and engagement in rights-based and dignified approaches
  • Identify practical actions and opportunities to advance the right to food movement
  • Strengthen networks across Perth & Kinross and beyond

This event will be particularly useful for managers, practitioners and wider stakeholders working across food, advice, community, local authority and health services and is aimed at:

  • Community food projects
  • Advice and welfare providers
  • Local authorities
  • NHS and health boards
  • Policy-makers and planners
  • Anyone working to create a fair, dignified and sustainable food system in Perth & Kinross
  • This event will be particularly useful for managers, practitioners and wider stakeholders working across food, advice, community, local authority and health services.

Why now?

The Scottish Government has confirmed its intention to reintroduce a Human Rights Bill (if re-elected post-2026), which would incorporate the right to food into Scots law.

The Cash-First: Towards Ending the Need for Food Banks plan sets out a clear direction of travel, with many projects already shifting towards income-based approaches that uphold dignity.
