Inverness Foodstuff
Inverness, UK
We are building stronger communities and reducing social isolation through community dining. We empower volunteers to develop skills and create social change. Using surplus food, we teach people to make low-cost meals without having to buy expensive produce, or opt for a less healthy but cheaper alternative. We have extended the service to establish a drop-in centre serving coffee, tea and scones, and provide laptops so participants can access benefit & job websites. Each Tuesday, we will host a digital skills workshop with professional supervision. On Thursdays, we will run an arts & crafts workshop, enabling participants to build their confidence and alleviate feelings of isolation. The pilot schemes we ran were very successful and well-supported, creating opportunities for group participation and helping our service users to get to know new people.
