Community groups

Do you serve or sell food?

Voluntary and community sector groups deliver a variety of services and many serve or promote food or are working to educate and reduce food waste.

Whether you run cooking clubs, are involved in training, sell food and drinks at events, your group can act now to increase the availability and consumption of vegetables.
