What’s Eating Reality? Covid-19 Statement

Due to the current environment around covid-19 and the government guidance to get us all staying safe and inside, Leeds International Festival is now postponed until further notice – including our event What's Eating Reality?. 

You can find the full statement from Leeds International Festival here. 

In the spirit of What's Eating Reality? – all about the food justice movement, find out how to support food justice locally. 

Support your local foodbank 

Stockpiling for coronavirus has seen Foodbank contributions drop significantly and many are now feeling the strain. Visit Leeds South and East Foodbank and Leeds North and West Foodbank to find out more about how to give support and get support.

Find out more about food bank provision in Leeds from Leeds Food Aid Network. 

Support local food projects 

The Real Junkfood Project are intercepting waste food to provide for all who need it (including NHS workers) during the COVID-19 pandemic – and they’re looking for volunteers. Find out more here. 

Support local food businesses 

Our friends over at Leeds Indie Food have made their site into a directory for supporting local food businesses, with information on who’s delivering, vouchers and more.
