Southwark Food Action Alliance currently has over 100 members, including voluntary organisations, community centres, the Council, foodbanks, faith groups, food growing groups, food businesses, housing associations, the NHS, national charities and campaign groups, Citizens Advice Southwark, academics and more. Our diverse membership provide a range of activities including cooking projects, growing projects, surplus food projects, food banks, holiday food and fun and community meals.

The Alliance meet regularly to share good practice, network and collaborate. We also work together on shared projects such as Dignity principles training and Worrying About Money/Cash First approaches.

We have drafted a Sustainable food strategy for the next 3 years (2023-2026) to help us work together towards our longer-term goal of a more affordable, healthy and sustainable food system for everyone in Southwark.

For each year of the strategy, we will be developing a yearly action plan, the first year’s action plan is available here. The action plan is supported by several working groups. For updates and further information on the action plan’s progress and how you can get involved, please email sfaa@southwark.gov.uk.
