Arun & Chichester Food Partnership

The Arun and Chichester Food Partnership is a collaborative network of cross sector partners in the local food system working to make good food accessible to all throughout Arun and Chichester.

Their vision for Arun and Chichester is for no one to go hungry and for everyone to have access to enough good quality food. They want to help people to grow, share and learn together to create skilled, fulfilled and nourished communities, with a real commitment to reduce the environmental impact of food production, procurement, consumption and waste.

Some of the ways they do this include:

Developing a good food strategy for Arun and Chichester
Creating community food networks to bring together local food and support services and create local responses to local needs
Supporting and establishing community food growing initiatives
Producing information and tools

The Arun and Chichester Food Partnership are proud members of Sustainable Food Places and Feeding Britain, and in 2024 won a Bronze Sustainable Food Places Award for their progress in the area.

Local Food Action Toolkit

Do you want to take action to improve local food issues, but not know where to start?

There are so many possible actions, many of which do not exist locally but are successful elsewhere. Our new Food Action Booklet explores many existing models, considerations, aims and possibilities, with practical case studies, examples and much more.

Some actions can be taken by one or two people, some will need much more, but hopefully this will inspire people to consider a wide range of actions that could be transformative locally. Read more here.
