The Project Aims:
To create a vibrant Nottingham Community Cafe Network that will support existing Community Cafe’s in Greater Nottingham and help new ones establish themselves.
Objectives:
To fulfil our aims, ‘Cafe Sneinton’ in 2011 will take on the task of
- Setting up a constituted group called ‘Nottingham Community Cafe Network’, and a website.
- We will research existing cafes (including church cafes, luncheon clubs, community centre cafes, social enterprise cafes, ‘people’s kitchens’ and so on) in Greater Nottingham as well as Local Food organisations, and invite them to join the group.
- As a group we will then organise 4 networking events (maybe one of these also a public event) over the course of 2011.
- We will consult widely with our members as well as organisations such as the NHS, NCVS, FIG, NCC and local food providers.
- We will ask for a £10 membership to put towards the events and in return members will get 5 free level 2 food hygiene courses, signposting to support (for example NHS dieticians), and invitations to all events and inclusion in our info network for relevant news and funding opportunities.
