Community Food & Health Supports

The Community Food & Health Support Programme enables us to integrate into existing FRC services in the F2 Centre and to develop trusting relationships with staff and service users. This relationship-based approach has been central to the success of the programme.

Raising awareness of food, nutrition and lifestyle choices in informal settings
Targeting individuals and families who traditionally do not engage in adult or health-focused programmes
Using experiential, hands-on learning to build confidence and skills
Responding flexibly to needs emerging from the community
Support the running of the weekly Community Breakfasts and Community Lunches, including the introduction of healthier options
Develop Food Poverty Supports for Families/Individuals experiencing food poverty
