The Hastings Book Festival is pleased to announce that the 2022 Catherine Cookson Lecture will be given by the hugely influential author, columnist, blogger and anti-poverty campaigner, Jack Monroe.

Once a single mother trying to feed her young son on a minuscule budget, Jack has gone on to become a voice for those in society struggling with food poverty. And people are listening.

Thanks to Jack’s activism, supermarkets have been pressured into reducing the cost of basic foodstuffs and government has had to rethink the way it gathers its information on pricing.
