The Big Bocs Bwyd

“A community thriving not surviving”

Every child will become food literate by growing, cooking and learning about food.

 

 

Project Objectives and Desired Outcomes

The BBB hubs comprise of an attractive ‘Pay as You Feel’ shop in a modified shipping container, additional secure storage (smaller container), raised beds and a small group meeting space. Some school communities also have additional growing spaces, woodlands, poly tunnels, beehives etc. that enhance the BBB shops. We are committed to diversity and the inclusion of the environment by focusing on working towards our goals. All of these objectives aligned will connect our communities and help them to thrive and flourish.  

 

The BBB school communities aims to address the following:

• Respond to the rising cost of living crisis

• Provide a wraparound service, as well as food, to help people move out of the situation they are in (working in collaboration with external stakeholders and multi-agencies e.g. Housing support)

• Measurably reduce food waste

• Contribute to the reduction of food poverty/food insecurity via the ‘Pay As You Feel’ shop

• Help improve nutritional intake

• Help improve the wellbeing of the families who use the BBB

• Increase parental involvement in ways that suit them (e.g., buying from the ‘Pay As You Feel’ shop, volunteering with food growing aspects of the projects etc.)

• To share lessons learnt with the next phase of BBB installation

To develop learning resources that will ensure BBBs become a focal point for experiential learning about food
