This December CSF is working to brighten the holiday season with seasonal food hampers, and has been providing food and information at Cost of Living support pop-ups and setting up a new kitchen and distribution space in the city.

Cambridge Sustainable Food CIC (CSF) has joined forces with St Philip’s Church in Romsey in a new venture to bring people together around sustainable food. 

This month we share plans towards building a community kitchen in Cambridge, tips on cutting your food waste and celebrate the funds raised through our Cost of Food and Living Crisis campaign.

At the start of the pandemic CSF worked with the Food Poverty Alliance, Cambridge City Council and mutual aid groups to facilitate the beginnings of the eight food hubs in the city and a distribution centre based at Buchan Street Neighbourhood Centre.

Join us for a fun and food-filled week or events and activities across the city. From growing and harvesting to disco soup-ing, fermenting, film watching and cook-a-longing, there’s plenty to keep minds, hands and taste buds busy!

October brings the first ever Food for the Planet Festival to Cambridge, with over 30 exciting food events available. Join us and be inspired to make changes to the food on your plate! Cost of living support pop-up events will also take place this month, offering valuable support. And it’s not too late to donate what you can to the cost of living fundraiser.

We’re sharing CSF's campaign to support local communities facing food poverty and our statement urging the government to address its root causes feature in this month’s newsletter.

We’re celebrating volunteering this August as part of the #GoldFoodCambridge campaign, showcasing inspiring community food projects and how residents, organisations and businesses can get involved.

This month we spotlight the vital work of volunteers working across the city to grow, cook, share and distribute food and save surplus from going to waste.
