Abstract

As part of the community research for his PhD and the TRI-SoMe Chicken project, Dominic visits the same foodbank he and his daughter relied on just years prior. This auto-ethnographic note explores the challenges and insights that both being a researcher and service user can uncover. There is a need for forgotten about people to be included in the conversation around tackling food insecurity and this piece begins to look at this tension as a member of the community rather than someone helicoptered in.
