Eat Well, Age Well conversation

We have received some funding from Public Health to start a new food resilience project for people aged 60 plus. 

Food resilience means making sure people have enough food, healthy food and food that suits their needs i.e. diet or cultural requirements.

When we talk about food resilience we include things like social supermarkets and food banks for when people are struggling; being able to afford and know how to cook healthy foods; sharing food with others at community lunch clubs; knowing how to avoid food waste; learning which foods are good for you and which should be eaten in moderation; giving people the skills to prepare meals from scratch; growing your own food; understanding the challenges we face in accessing food as we age i.e. cooking for one; navigating big supermarkets; affording food etc.

We want to hear your thoughts on these subjects, what would help you eat well to age well, and what we should be including in this project. We are therefore inviting you and anyone else you would like to bring along to join us for tea and buns on Friday 7^th March at 2pm at Central Hall to help us shape this project.
