Resources for Community Organisations during COVID-19


These resources are for community organisations, groups and projects who:

  • Are centred around food (e.g. cooking, growing, sharing food with the community)
  • Have newly formed to support their local community on food issues during the COVID-19 outbreak
  • Have adapted how they function as a response to COVID-19, and are now focusing more on food related activities (e.g. distribution)

These resources should provide you with all the information you need around running food projects during this time, whether they be best practices or funding information.

If you think these resources are missing something or you have suggestions for how they can develop to meet your needs, please email aisling@bristolfoodnetwork.org.
