What kind of community transformation is possible when education is designed to empower and equip people to pursue meaningful work in growing, distributing and advocating for nutritious, local food?

Shift Bristol has invited a variety of speakers to explore this question, highlighting projects creating an impact across Bristol through food growing, community food provision, employment and education: such as Sims Hill CSA, Ashley Community Housing, Secret Soup Society, Lush Greens, Educators Unite and Bristol Charities.

Join us from 5.30, and connect with other attendees before the panel discussion kicks off at 6.15pm.
The Secret Soup Society will provide a delicious vegan snacking table, and refreshing soft drinks.

Food Justice Fortnight 

Food Justice Fortnight is an annual series of events hosted by Feeding Bristol and its fantastic partner organisations. We help bring people from all over the city together to strengthen connections so we can continue to work together for Food Justice.

A range of events are designed to celebrate Bristol’s food communities, platform the incredible work happening to address food inequality in the city, and build resilience by connecting people, organisations and sectors through sharing food and our ideas about Food Justice.

This year’s Food Justice Fortnight theme is Food and Power.

This theme invites us to think about how food can be a powerful tool for justice and creating a more equal society. It can make us think about the tools communities need, and already have, to harness the power of food.

What helps individuals and communities feel empowered when it comes to food?

What food powers are unique to communities? How can we harness these more? What tools do we need? Join us at an event to share your ideas.
