We held our first external event online last week and it was very popular with over 60 people registered to attend. Unfortunately last minute calls took some away but it was a very productive and lively session with many links between projects being made and common themes identified.
The 4 speakers were:
- Witchhazel Wildwood from Swansea Community Growing Network
- Heather McClure from Aber Food Surplus
- Pearl Costello from Food Cardiff
- Deserie Mansfield from Monmouth County Council
Attendees were then moved to breakout rooms to discuss their vision for food in their area and how they would like to work with the local authority, and what support would they need for that to happen? The feedback on the day was extremely positive and the report from the event can be seen here – Food from the Ground Up report June 2020 It includes a link to the recording of the event which is on our YouTube channel.
