Healthy Food for All (HFfA) is an all-island multi-agency initiative seeking to address food poverty by promoting access, availability and affordability of healthy food for low-income groups.

Our Objectives
We have three main objectives:

• To support community and sectoral initiatives which promote availability of and access to healthy and affordable food for low-income groups, with a focus on community food initiatives and direct food provision, including school meals
• To develop an all-island learning network to identify best practice on promoting healthy food for low-income groups and to develop links with similar organisations in the UK and Europe
• To promote awareness of food poverty across all aspects of public policy, with a focus on availability, access and affordability of food.

Our Structure
Healthy Food for All has a management committee and an advisory committee, representing government departments and state agencies, independent experts, as well as local and national organisations from the community and voluntary sector. Healthy Food for All currently employs two members of staff.

Our Supporters
The core work of Healthy Food for All is funded by the Department of Community, Equality & Gaeltacht Affairs, Food Safety Authority of Ireland, HSE and safefood. Other organisations fund separate elements of our work plan. Crosscare currently houses Healthy Food for All, as well as provide administration, accounting and HR resources to help run the initiative.
