Buywell is working in 10 deprived areas of London to make it easier to buy healthy, affordable and sustainably produced food locally
Buywell aims to help Londoners living in these areas to eat more of a wider range of healthier foods by supporting local groups to plan, develop and run food access projects.
Buywell is one strand of Well London , a five year, Big Lottery funded programme that works to improve the health of residents living in 20 deprived areas of the city. The Well London Alliance, led by the London Health Commission, delivers a portfolio of health and well-being projects. Well London partner London Sustainability Exchange commissioned London Food Link to lead on Buywell.
For more information on the Well London programme visit http://www.london.gov.uk/welllondon/.
Buywell Boroughs
Buywell is running in 10 neighbourhoods. These areas were identified at the start of the Well London programme as having particular problems around healthy food access and all are among the 11% most deprived neighbourhoods in London.
the projects
London Food Link has worked with local groups to design appropriate food access projects in each of the Buywell areas. The range of projects includes:
- Food Co-ops & Box Schemes
- Community Café
- Healthier Options Award Scheme for cafés
- Buywell Shops
- Community Food Networks
