Abstract

‘Food for Life Get Togethers’ are regular community activities that connect people from all ages and backgrounds through growing, cooking and eating good food. The programme seeks to support the aspirations of community food organisers of which an important aspect includes fostering connections through their national and local networks. UWE’s research between May to July 2022 sought to explore the experiences of participants and facilitators in Get Togethers networking activities. Using a mixed methods study design, the research involved the analysis of programme records, a survey with 97 individuals engaged in programme Network Events and 19 in-depth interviews with participants and facilitators.
