Interfaith Food Justice Network

Our aims are to: Build personal connections between people and groups from diverse backgrounds working in the area of food justice (through regular meetings, currently bi-annual); Support one another’s work by sharing information, resources and good practice, and facilitating peer support; Use our collective voice to push for a just food system - by engaging with those experiencing food poverty and inputting at a strategic level both locally and nationally.

Members: We don’t currently have a formal membership structure, but over 30 Glasgow based organisations – some faith based, some not – regularly involve themselves in the network. Groups provide soup kitchens, food banks, community meals & more. A selection includes: SEVA Scotland (Sikh), Kagyu Samye Dzong (Buddhist), Glasgow Humanist Society, Glasgow Presbytery, Archdiocese,(Christian), Al Kahir Foundation, Feed Glasgow & Central Mosque (Muslim), Little Sourdough Bakery (local small business) & others.

Established: March 2015
