50 Families: Nourishing Connections

The proposed project builds on an existing collaboration, initiated by Northamptonshire Community Foundation (NCF) and Food 4 Heros, with three local charities. Home Start (HS), Spring Charity (SC), and Power of the Mind (PoM) are tackling diet-related inequality and promoting healthier lifestyles among service users. The project activities, outlined below, will now focus on building engagement with these families beyond the current food interventions. In partnership with the University of Northampton (UON) through the Knowledge Exchange funds, it seeks to engage these families and the wider public to support access to nutritious food information and foster a more sustainable lifestyle change. Project will adopt a holistic approach to health and well-being addressing various factors that influence health living, such as food access and cultural attitudes, underpinning social determinants of health.
