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 7th March at 2pm at Central Hall to help us shape this project.

Mr Hastings & St Leonards and HVA are bringing the Baton of Hope to Hastings on September 23rd, 2025, as part of the National Baton of Hope tour and you have the opportunity to carry the Baton on the Hastings Leg of the tour. Baton Bearers carry the Baton as a symbol of hope, togetherness solidarity and a shared purpose, whether that’s in memory of someone lost to suicide, suicide survivors or anyone who is passionate about suicide prevention. This is an opportunity to honour lives lost, raise awareness and spark conversations.
