A summit for organisations who offer food support is being delivered by Communities Together Durham in partnership with Food Durham, together with the Beyond Food Banks Network steering group.
16 workshops to choose from, organisation marketplace, lunch made from surplus kindly supplied by Fareshare, 20+ microgrants for food support organisations available on the day, plenary.
Limited spaces remaining. Please share with anyone who wants to be part of the movement to transition community food support Beyond Food Banks in the Diocese of Durham (that's from the River Tyne in the North to the River Tees in the South; the Durham Dales in the West, to the sea in the East).
The Beyond Food Banks Network, set up in May 2025, has members from over 50 organisations supplying free/very low-cost food. Together, they want to work together to improve the support they offer. Workshops at the summit will showcase models of food support which allow for more choice, greater inclusivity, less stigma, reduced waste and which cater for individual needs and preferences. Following the summit, the group will be coming up with a roadmap to take what we've learnt to go Beyond Food Banks.
