For Individuals and Households

We believe everyone has the right to good food. One of our key Good Food Goals for the city is to ensure that everyone; has access to, has choice over and can afford; nourishing, healthy and culturally appropriate food.

But if you are struggling to afford or access food, there are a number of systems in place to help, which we have signposted below. 

• Call Cardiff Council’s Advice line029 2087 1071 or contact advicehub@Cardiff.gov.uk 
• For more information, visit the Cardiff Money Advice website

Many organisations in the community can help with access to food. Many of these are listed on the Help Near Me section of the Cardiff Money Advice website

For Food Projects

Food Cardiff runs a network called the Cardiff Community Food Collective. The group represents many different types of projects with diverse focuses and ways of working, it shares these common goals:  

• We believe everyone should have access to, have choice over and can afford nourishing, healthy and culturally appropriate food.
• We all aim to increase access to good food, to bring people together and reduce social isolation.
• We take a place-based and community-led approach to our work 

As well as members of the project teams, CCFC is also open to support organisations who work with community food projects, for example Cardiff & Vale Public Health Dietetics, Cardiff Business School and C3SC.

The Collective hosts regular meet-ups to share knowledge and resources, and to learn from and support each other. Members also work together to coordinate and deliver projects, such as sourcing food.
