A workshop for those who care about food inequality, want to come together to see how things could be different in Torbay, and take action.
Food inequality is experienced by those whose best access to food might be low budget, low quality, and low nutrition.
It might also include people who experience stress around feeding themselves and their families - due to cost, knowledge, skills, confidence, personal taste and personal relationships with food.
This workshop is for:
Those who work or volunteer in the food system in Torbay, for example:
- Farming industry
- Fishing industry
- Farm shops
- Supermarkets and other food outlets
- Takeaways and restaurants
- Community growing schemes
People who are affected by food inequality in Torbay, for example:
- Those using or providing food clubs and food banks
- Pastoral care support in schools, religious communities and other bodies
- Social prescribers and mental health support
- Social care workers
- People who have convened their own informal food clubs
This workshop is enabled by LocalMotion and supported by Local Spark Torbay.
LocalMotion is building a social, economic and environmental justice movement, by communities, for communities. Our movement seeks to understand local strengths in the places where we live and work. We aim to challenge typical power structures and hierarchies that become barriers to a community’s progress and hold us back.
Please book and indicate any access or dietary issues or any other barrier to your participation, such as finance or transport.
There will be photographers and filmmakers recording this event. If you would not like to be photographed/filmed, please let us know on arrival.
