Feeding Derbyshire Network Membership

“Where no one goes hungry, a county where everyone has access to good quality, affordable food.”

Purpose & Aims

The Network is on a mission to tackle food insecurity across Derbyshire by making nutritious, affordable food more accessible to everyone. We’re not just about providing food, we’re about creating a community of people dedicated to ending food poverty.

We keep our members informed on the latest developments, encourage collaboration and support one another in this shared goal.

By raising awareness, piloting new initiatives with local communities, and offering guidance on broader issues, we’re working together to strengthen the community food sector and ensure lasting support for those in need.
