Food Hubs
Food hubs in Bassetlaw are supported through a range of funding and local community activity. The food hubs which were supported by BFIN to develop are now self-organised and sustainable. The food is provided by FareShare East Midlands, alongside a variety of other local food providers and funders.
Food Hubs help to tackle food insecurity and sustainability locally as Food Hubs enable local people to purchase food that would otherwise go to landfill.
The Food Hub network also offers support for families that are struggling financially. Each bag of food, which can be filled with anything that is available on the day, costs between £3.50 and £5 and has an average value of £20. (NB some hubs also have an initial membership fee of £5).
