Food for life get togethers evaluation: Good food and building community capacity through cook and share grants

Résumé fourni par la source

‘Food for Life Get Togethers’ are regular community activities that connect people from all ages and backgrounds through growing, cooking and eating good food. In mid-2021 Food for Life asked community groups across the UK to apply for a £150 Cook and Share grant. Groups were invited to deliver cooking and sharing activities that would bring people together from disadvantaged and diverse communities with a view to reducing experiences of loneliness and social isolation. The food-based events were also intended to promote positive attitudes towards ageing and diversity. While the focus was on Cook and Share Month (October to November 2021), organisers were encouraged to run events on longer-term basis. Our research sought to explore how these microgrants might help build community action and promote the value of good food.
