Invitation to the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Every year the Food Partnership holds a public meeting (our Annual General Meeting) where an update on our work, our annual accounts and any governance questions are publicly discussed. It is also a chance for people interested in our work to meet staff and Board members and if required there will be an election for new Board members.

Anyone can attend but in order to vote at the AGM you need to register as a member of the Food Partnership. Membership is open to anyone who lives or works in Brighton & Hove and supports our vision of healthy, sustainable, fair food for all.  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FPmembership
