Food, growing and gardening projects are vital for the health and wellbeing of our communities, especially during times of economic hardship.

We warmly invite you to join us for this free forum, co-hosted by Spark Somerset and Somerset Community Food (SCF).

Whether you’re involved with a local allotment, community fridge or foodbank, therapeutic garden, cooking class or any other initiative which uses food, growing and gardening to support positive change, please come and join us for the chance to network and share peer support, learning and best practice.

Guests and speakers

• Eve Stucki from Wivey Kitchen will be joining us to provide an insight into how they got their community pantry started
• Tiggy Parry, CEO of Project Food, will discuss their upcoming food prep and cooking sessions with Chard Food Bank
• A representative from Bridies Farm will talk about their Glastonbury-based food and regenerative farming centre

There will also be an opportunity to reflect on the recent Land Alive event, and share any updates from your organisation.

Tickets to this forum are freely available to voluntary organisations, social enterprises and individuals involved in community growing, food and gardening projects in Somerset.
