We are really pleased to play a part in shaping the Leeds Food Strategy. This exciting initiative, co-developed by Leeds City Council and Food Wise Leeds, sets out a bold vision for the future of how we produce, consume, and dispose of food across the Local Authority district. We are part of the working group looking at the strategic mission for Health and Wellbeing and our Family Cookery Clubs are highlighted as part of the plan to help people in Leeds to eat a safe, healthy, and balanced diet.
Leeds has already achieved Bronze in the Sustainable Food Places award scheme. The aim is to achieve the Silver award in 2023 and Gold in subsequent years.
This year we’ve begun exciting plans to help transform futures and change lives in Hull, one of the most disadvantaged cities in the UK, where 33.4% of children live in relative poverty.
Earlier this month we had the privilege of hosting the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament for Leeds West and Pudsey, Rachel Reeves, at a showcase of the work we do to empower families.
