About this Event
Calling Enfield food organisations, TRAs, faith groups and all others working in the community to tackle food poverty!
Location: COMMUNITY ROOM 1, Floor 1, Edmonton Green Library
Cooperation Town is a London based organisation, supporting residents locally and nationally to set up community food co-ops.
Food co-ops are neighbourhood buying groups, where members buy food and other household products in bulk and, in addition, have access to free supermarket surplus.
Food co-ops are run by members, who together decide what to buy and how to run the project. Co-op members save up to 40% off their weekly food costs by organising with their neighbours.
Food co-ops offer a sustainable alternative to food banks, while helping to build members' confidence and increase community participation and resilience
Cooperation Town is funded by Enfield Council to develop a local network of food co-ops across the borough.
We invite local groups and organisations to find out about the Cooperation Town model, learn about the local project and discuss how they could help set up a neighbourhood food co-op as part of their community offer.
Cooperation Town organisers will present a simple step-by-step guide to setting up a community-led food co-op at your centre, TRA hall, place of worship or school and offer practical support to interested organisations. In the break-out room, you will be able to discuss the next steps for your group, with the view to make a concrete plans.
