Community Food Projects: a directory - library.uniteddiversity.coop

How To Use This Directory
We hope this directory will allow you to find out about initiatives in your region, so the projects
are listed by county. However, there are also two indices at the back showing the projects listed
alphabetically by name and by activity, so you can also find all the projects which include, for
example, a breakfast club.
Each entry contains contact details, a summary of the project’s aims and activities, and user
groups.
We decided not to include email contact addresses as, apart from the problems of junk email and
viruses increased by publishing email addresses, they often go out-of-date when contacts change
jobs. If you have access to the internet, you can see if the project you are trying to contact has an
email by searching the online directory.
We have included only projects which are running at the time of going to press (February 2003).
However, funding in this area is scarce and there is a high turnover of projects: you may
therefore find that unfortunately some projects are no longer active. Please be aware, too, that
this directory provides an overview of the different types of work going on, but is by no means a
comprehensive list of all the projects currently active in the UK.
One of the most effective ways to learn about different types of work is through direct contact.
Please do not hesitate to get in contact with any of the projects listed, to have a discussion or
arrange to visit.
We hope you find the directory useful. Whatever your experience of using it, we’d like to hear
from you. Any comments - positive or negative - will help us to improve future editions.
