Black households in the UK are up to four times more likely to suffer from food insecurity than the national average as the cost of living crisis grips the country, new analysis shows.
Figures from the Department for Work and Pensions family resources survey show that in the 2020-21 financial year, some 21 per cent of households headed by someone from a Black African, Black Caribbean or Black British background didn’t have enough food to stay healthy and active. This figure is three times more than the UK average of 7 per cent.
