The Southwark Food Action Alliance (SFAA) is an independent collective of 65 members including local food providers and distributors, charities and community partners, residents, businesses, and public sector representatives, coming together to deliver a joined up holistic food systems approach in Southwark that increases food security and food equality, delivered in an environmentally sustainable manner.
The alliance was formed in 2018 as a direct response to an increase in demand for services tackling food insecurity, a need for a strategic approach and oversight, and an understanding that improved food security is linked to building more resilient communities with improved health outcomes.
SFAA and Southwark Council developed their first three year Sustainable Food Strategy for the borough in 2023 and has annual actions plans which set out key activities and actions to progress the strategy.
SFAA worked with Nourish Scotland to develop Southwark Dignity Champions - who trained people and organisations working in food insecurity (and beyond) in the Dignity Principles, to ensure that dignity is embedded in their approaches. For more information see the Sustainable Food Strategy here.
SFAA maps affordable, low-cost and free food provision in the borough - see the map here.
