Welcome to our 2024 advent calendar of kindness, warmth, wellness and community spirit! Each day until Christmas we will be sharing info on how to help one another stay safe and well.
Food plays a central role in our lives. It keeps us alive, helps us to stay healthy and brings us together socially. It can bind communities and its production and supply plays a key role in creating a vibrant local economy.
There may be times where you need help to afford or access food for yourself and your family; or you may be looking for information to help others that you know may be struggling.
You may also want advice about diet and nutrition or how to reduce your food waste and make the most of leftovers, as well as information about environmentally friendly food choices.
www.warwickshire.gov.uk/food is a great place to start with information on:
- Help with accessing food
- Food banks and community pantries
- More food, less waste – ideas, recipes, tips and apps
- Health eating and keeping well
