We are pleased to be part of an ambitious, UK-wide National Lottery project – Extended Table.
Extended Table is a five-year project (2025-30), aiming to transform the food system. The project uses the power of food to bring people together, amplify community voices, and empower people to advocate for their community’s needs. We aim to create inclusive social spaces that support marginalised people affected by multiple challenges.
In Brighton & Hove, the work will include community cookery courses, community gardens and outdoor food & wellbeing courses, alongside supporting participants to volunteer, co-deliver and set up their own projects.
We will support experts by experience to have their opinions heard by people with influence within the food system at a local, regional and national level.
The project will also support us to improve structures & practice for user voice within the Food Partnership’s work and at the city’s Food Strategy Expert Panel.
We are working with partners across the UK – Extended Table is led by NOW Group (Belfast) in partnership with Real Farming Trust, Cyrenians (Edinburgh), Brighton & Hove Food Partnership, OrganicLea and Hornbeam.
