Eastbourne Food Partnership was established as a grassroots community organisation in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic shed light on the cracks in the food system, placing school meals, foodbanks and supply chains firmly on the agenda. Our mission to make a local food system that works for our communities and our planet seemed more important than ever.
In October 2021, Eastbourne Food Partnership became an independent CIC. We were also welcomed into Sustainable Food Places and Feeding Britain, joining the national movement to make nutritious and sustainably produced food accessible to everyone.
Today, our activity is centred around relationship building and partnership working, enabling the wonderful local food projects of the town to do what they do best through direct funding, fostering collaboration between projects, and administrative assistance.
The Eastbourne Food Partnership brings together communities, individuals and organisations that are committed to creating a more equitable, sustainable and diverse food system in Eastbourne.
Eastbourne is currently home to six community fridges, almost a dozen sites of immediate food support, and multiple growing projects. These projects are all run by hardworking and incredibly devoted volunteers and project managers, and we do everything we can to best support them and amplify their impact. We believe we work best when we work together, and as an enabling organisation driven by partnership working, we strive to strengthen relationships between our local food projects by encouraging collaboration. We have recently started the Eastbourne Community Food Network (ECFN) which brings together all these local projects for that exact purpose and have been extremely encouraged by the enthusiasm of its members.
