North Glasgow Community Food Initiative (NGCFI) This organisation is a Registered Charity
North Glasgow Community Food Initiative (NGCFI) work with communities to empower them to lead practical and sustainable food related activities that improve health and wellbeing and which support them to build stronger, more cohesive communities.
We contribute to the development of a society, where health, well-being and harmony are supported within active communities.
Our Food Hub Model is a joined up approach in a specific local community and we currently work in three areas:
- Springburn
- Milton
- Royston
The model covers all aspects of healthy food, growing, purchasing fruit and vegetables, cooking skills, enjoying and choosing a healthy diet. It is a virtuous and expanding ‘healthy circle’ of activity and involvement. The community takes a leading role in choosing, planning and running activities underpinned by volunteers and supported by a Food Hub Manager.
