Background
In recent years WVA has played a pivotal role in co-producing, developing and delivering projects and partnerships to meet local need, in particular where gaps in service have been identified. Over the past 3 years WVA has led on the successful Food Network Project as a trusted and impartial coordinator of the many food providing services across Warrington, bringing them together to share resources and food supplies, and take up good practice support, with a mission that everyone in Warrington has equal access to affordable, nutritious food.
In line with the Food Network’s mission, this project will focus on improving food literacy, and developing opportunities for social eating, recognising that food is a tool to improving social connections and creating strong communities. The project will work to ensure residents experiencing food insecurity have the knowledge and skills to eat well on a budget, working alongside community food providers and wider community settings.
