Consultation with stakeholders

We consider our stakeholders to be: 1. Any community organisations who want to work with us to improve their community's wellbeing and the wellbeing of the planet through enabling people to eat more seasonally and sustainably We consult with all organisations we work with on what would work best for their communities and their organisation before undertaking any activities with them. This consultation is around what they feel their communities need (e.g. how to cook more healthily with sustainable ingredients, how to use new, unfamiliar ingredients.) and what they already have in place (e.g. do they have a garden where we could run food growing activities, how do we link food growing better to their cooking activities) 2. The individual participants in our activities We aim to consult with individuals about their needs and if our activities meet them before beginning activities; at the beginning of activities; during the course of activities and at the end of activities. We do this through questionnaires, direct conversations, ongoing feedback and end of activity reflection. 3. Our local community We have a Food Garden in Guiseley which we have developed in partnership with a local B-Corp business and which acts as a demonstration garden for food growing. We have a mailing list of interested volunteers and community members who we consult with regularly. We have worked with local older people’s and disability organisations (AVSED and DREAM) to ensure our garden is accessible and to reach those members of the community. We also work with the Linking Leeds social prescribing advisers for our area and take an active role in the Aireborough Together Network of local community groups and connectors. 4. The organisations funding our activities When we receive direct funding to allow us to run activities, through the very model of applying and reporting on our activities we have to engage with the organisations funding us to ensure we are meeting their requirements. Funders this year have included the following: Leeds Community Foundation The Royal Horticultural Society The Co-operative Group Leeds Culture Trust
