THE secrets of starting a community food distribution project will be shared across Somerset later this month by Eve Stucki, of Wivey Kitchen.

Ms Stucki will join an online forum giving insights into how the group founded its Wiveliscombe community pantry.

The forum is being co-hosted by Spark Somerset and Somerset Community Food on January 28.

A spokesperson said: “Food, growing, and gardening projects are vital for the health and wellbeing of our communities, especially during times of economic hardship.

“Whether you are involved with a local allotment, community fridge, or foodbank, therapeutic garden, cooking class, or any other initiative which uses food, growing, and gardening to support positive change, join us for the chance to network and share peer support, learning, and best practice.”
