3.1. Togetherness
“When I think about it, we make stuff together and learn and have a laugh”.
“Eating together though, it’s not about being hungry sometimes, it’s about eating on your own”.
“We felt we had each other with the youth service”.
“Once I knew that (he was hungry), we cooked together, we ate together”.
“It’s about sitting actually having time to eat together, feeling proud you know of what he’s done”.
“There’s these young people who don’t have family necessarily, friends fill that void, young people feel connected here, one of our key values is working with young people to feel part of their community, it isn’t just about food”.
3.2. Relationships
“Others (professionals) judged us, like social workers and housing workers and stuff, I’d only go to my Youth Worker”.
“Youth Workers are helpful, supportive, and resourceful. Literally only my Youth Worker is there when you need food, there’s never anyone else to turn to”.
“We had some fun times (with the Youth Service) being able to meet at different places, food was always a big part of that”.
“I feel like the Youth Service has been a huge part of my life. They’ve got it captured, yeah. They care, listen, and more importantly make sure you’re not hungry, who else does that, they’re not just there for the money or power”.
“The conversations we get sat round the table can’t be explained in an outcome. It’s connected to the values and principles of Youth Work; it isn’t just about food”.
“The activity is eating with others, and eating at all, the issue doesn’t go away, people are still hungry, but it’s not just about food, it’s really important that young people feel heard and we’re building relationships”.
3.3. Otherness
“They judge us, not the Youth Workers I mean but everyone else, like we didn’t ask to be in this situation”.
“Having the youth centre, somewhere we could talk about it (food insecurity) and not feel weird”.
“It just felt normal for once, like we did what normal kids do”.
“We had the youth centre to come to. They (Youth Workers) didn’t make me feel embarrassed, in fact they made me feel normal and explained it’s a more common experience. We got help getting food parcels, and they made sure we didn’t go without”.
“Yeah, they (young people) feel very alienated by what goes on socially”.
“There’s an assumption that (some young people) want to be eating chips all the time and they don’t. People say they aren’t spending their money properly too. They just feel like they don’t fit in”.
3.4. Disempowerment
“It’s not just us though. Yeah, it’s the government. What is it? Inflation, yeah, question that”.
“So, there is money everywhere so like who has it ‘cos we don’t”.
“We’ve got no power, what can we do”.
“I mean, food poverty that’s like you don’t have enough money to buy it. With food insecurity it’s more like, you might have money, right? But you’ve got nowhere to cook it, or you’ve got no way of making it, or you just don’t feel like you don’t want to eat by yourself or whatever. So, who wants to hear about that, cos they need to, we’re not doing ok, and they’ve done us over really, it needs to change so the next generation don’t suffer like this”.
“Why are there so many food banks, and community pantries, the focus should never just be on the person or family, it’s got to change higher hasn’t it?”.
“Young people are engaging in political education but feel powerless to being able to create change”.
“Others see food as the key thing, I think there’s a very big divide. The Government need to make sense of this. Young people are coming to us to eat because they haven’t got anywhere else, it’s a much bigger discussion that needs to be had higher up”.
“There is a pressure from the government and from everybody else, unless we do something to change it, nothing’s going to change. It’s the hierarchy”.
3.5. Learning
“We solve problems, we learn how to cook, and I mean, if we work with our Youth Workers maybe we could do more”.
“They (Youth Workers) would get me, and we could do a cooking session at the youth centre, so I was learning as well as eating, I was never hungry then”.
“I wouldn’t have learnt how to manage my money otherwise. I was learning as well as eating”.
“We need more opportunities that teach us”.
“Through the Youth Work sessions, we empower young people. They are making food for others; they say they’re not feeling like they’re just taking”.
“Our sessions became about prepping meals for the week, batch cooking and taking them home. It was hard when managers would say that is not my responsibility, but it changed their lives, they learnt those skills within 12 weeks of support”.
