We established during the first lockdown and delivered affordable veg boxes weekly to local residents between May 2020 and May 2021.. We are committed to working together to empower local people around food! Very Local Food Hubs Project now has 4 project strands to enable us to do this:


- Support with food growing locally (workshops, resources, hands on opportunities)
- Cooking and tasting opportunities
- Fresh food provision (Veg boxes)
- Food Strategy: Partnership working, training and networking to develop a localised strategy and action plan to tackle food inequality

Get in touch if you would like to help/ get involved:) We have a range of different volunteering opportunities available. We are one of the city's 7 affordable food pilots supported by Brighton & Hove Food Partnership. We work directly with other local food projects such as Moulsecoomb community market at St George's hall and Bevendean Food Bank on Norwich drive, as well as Moulsecoomb Chomp at Hillview Good News centre. We are working to develop local resilience and empowerment around food and to tackle food inequality to help support a healthy, connected neighbourhood.. Contact us at [email protected]
