Network

Healthy Food for All is developing a network to support, develop and link local and national food projects.

The purpose of the network is to strengthen the national policy response to food poverty by building on the work already taking place at local level and by linking this with new interventions at national level.  The network of community food projects allows for the sharing of information and experiences to enable projects to learn from others. 

Compiling a directory of food projects allows groups to get in contact with each other and to learn from others' experiences.  If you would like your project to be included in this directory send an email detailing the project to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it


Network Event - Find out about food projects in your area!  

A series of networking events will be organised to mobilise people to identify and address the food needs in their own community.  Check back soon for details of an event in your area.

Many thanks to all who contributed to an interesting and thought-provoking discussion last Thursday.  There was a great turnout and feedback suggests that participants really valued the opportunity to network with people from a variety of backgrounds, to share information and to learn about the variety and extent of different projects and research available.
