NFS Bristol Meeting 2 - This time with food

The second meeting of the Bristol branch of the NFS Campaign

This time we're focusing on how we can support, connect and grow existing projects. We'll have members from community dining groups around the city join us to tell us what they're about and discuss what we can do to help them out.

If you know or are a part of a community dining project near you please get in touch and we'll reserve you a slot.

There will be dinner included. If you'd like to help cook please sign up with this form https://forms.gle/Y9TncmmNFhp5KoD57 We'll start at 3.

To cover the cost of hiring the hall and buying ingredients we ask for a donation. If you earn below the real living wage of £9 per hour you need only donate £1. If you earn over that amount please consider donating £3, £5 or over. We'll leave a pot on the table and will do one announcement about where it is.

Any money we make over the cost of ingredients and hire will go towards the next meeting costs.

Accessability: Baggator/the Pickle Factory has an accessible toilet including a handle and space to turn. There are no steps up to the entrance and there is parking outside. The room is flat without steps, furniture can be moved all apart form the kitchen which has high workspaces.

What is a National Food Service?

What is a National Food Service?

Food is a basic human right and yet in this country around 500,000 people are reliant on food banks. Food poverty is affecting our health and is affecting children’s quality of life and education. Food production is also critical to climate change processes and can be a tool through which we combat the destruction of our planet.

Recognising the integral human rights to good health and education, we have developed a decommodified National Health Service and a National Education Service; why does the UK not have a National Food Service?

What would a National Food Service look like? How would it differ to our current system? How does the current system fail us and the planet? And importantly, if we want a NFS how would we get there?

To answer all of these questions we have a panel of food activists who will also discuss their involvement in food production and provision. On the panel: Louise Delmege, a volunteer for Foodhall community kitchen, the people behind the push for a National Food Service; and more TBA
