About

Babergh District Council awarded a contract to Community Action Suffolk to deliver a Food Security Development Officer role for the Babergh & Mid Suffolk Food Network Project.

The role supports community food projects, including community pantries, community fridges, and food pop-ups, and builds relationships with food suppliers, producers, and retailers to open food pathways and maximise food supply across all community food projects.

The contract, valued at AUD 104,968, is funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and aims to stimulate new food projects, improve coordination and communication between community-led food projects and food producers/suppliers, ensure fair distribution to all community food distribution points, and ensure vulnerable individuals and families have access to sufficient food items in accessible locations with a reasonable geographical spread.

The officer will collaborate with lead authorities within Suffolk on food-related projects, including Suffolk County Council Food Bank lead and Suffolk Libraries.
