CVSCE has been deeply saddened and concerned by the co-ordinated actions targeting people seeking asylum that have occurred in different parts of the country over the last few weeks.
Introduction
A couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to attend The 2024 City Food Policy Symposium organised by the Centre for Food Policy at City University.
I am writing this article having returned from a visit to FareShare Merseyside with Councillor Anna Burton – Food Poverty/Food Security champion for Cheshire East Council. Was it good luck or good planning that it coincided with the launch by His Majesty King Charles III of the Coronation Food Project - designed to reduce waste whilst also reducing some hunger.
In my last update I highlighted that one of the areas of my role I’m most looking forward to is setting up a food alliance for Cheshire East. I’m glad to announce that we have now set a date for our launch event – which will take place at 10.30 am on Tuesday 17 October at Congleton Town Hall. The exact format of the event is still being worked on; but I’m delighted that it will be opened by Andrew Forsey National Director of Feeding Britain. You can RSVP here.
One of the areas of my new role I’m most looking forward to is setting up a food alliance (or partnership) covering Cheshire East. These partnerships are now common place – locally both Cheshire West and Chester and Warrington have one – with around a further 80 covering the length a breadth of the UK.
