Suffolk Community Food Network (SCFN) focuses on supporting local community food projects to be well run, well supported, resilient and sustainable, so that they in turn can support their local communities with the many challenges around food insecurity.
This includes:
- Providing opportunities for local food projects and organisations to meet with each other, learn about each other’s work, and develop local support networks
- Developing training and learning opportunities specifically for community food projects
- Exploring solutions to wider issues around food insecurity, such as developing local pilot projects.
Current Projects
Resources for Food Projects
Our Community Food Project Toolkit includes a wealth of information, tools, tips and useful links to help you set up, run and develop your food project, as well as looking at food insecurity and how you could provide wider support to customers.
The toolkit is designed to be easy to use and to help you focus on those areas you need support with, including:
- Governance
- Funding & fundraising
- Monitoring & Evaluation
- Publicity & Marketing
- Supporting your customers
- Developing a project plan
Due to funding received from Suffolk County Council, CAS has been able to provide this resource at no cost
Food Project Case Studies
We have created a range of case studies of different food projects around Suffolk to show case a variety of ways that communities are being support with food.
