How have NHS teams supported community food work during the pandemic?
Many Community Food Initiatives work closely with local NHS dietitians or nutritionists. The Scottish Public Health Nutrition Group (SPHNG) brings these NHS public health nutrition representatives together and has produced a short snapshot of how they worked with communities during the lock-down and how they put their own activities (such as community cooking) online. The snapshot also considers the challenges ahead.
The snapshot of how NHS teams have supported community food work is available here:

The SPHNG snapshot complements our own ‘Snapshot of Covid-19, food insecurity and community food initiatives: What happened and what can we learn?’ which was published on this website in July 2020. The CFHS snapshot is available here:
