GROW YOUR Community Food Co-op: Keeping In Touch March 2016

GROW YOUR Community Food Co-op:

Ffrith Food Co-op
Ffrith Food Co-op runs from a village hall near Wrexham every Friday morning where orders
are consistently high.
The food co-op was started by the local community association and over time has developed
into a community caf which volunteers feel is one of the reasons for their success.
It has become a really popular community event. The community centre has a good kitchen
and right from the start we have been making cakes. Originally the idea was to use
ingredients that you would find in a veggie bag but it has now further developed into a proper
caf.
After the pub in the village closed down, the food co-op became a community hub. It runs
alongside the medical prescription collection service and has the support of the local Police
Community Support Officer who visits regularly. Serving refreshments has strengthened the
co-op by making it a social event and helping to connect with other communities. It is this
great community atmosphere which food co-op customers and visitors all enjoy.

GROW YOUR Community Food Co-op: Top Tips

Adding additional produce to your co-op list has proven to support
community co-ops to become more sustainable. Why not speak to your supplier
and see if they supply eggs for example?

 Recruiting more volunteers will support your co-op to become stronger.

Perhaps a customer has skills you can use to help organise, order for the co-op, help
set up tables, welcome customers? You can advertise within your co-op, community or
contact your local voluntary council here: http://www.wcva.org.uk/memberspartners/county-voluntary-councils

mae wedi datblygun gaffi cymunedol, ac maer gwirfoddolwyr yn teimlo mai dyma un o'r
rhesymau pam maer fenter wedi bod mor llwyddiannus.
Mae wedi dod yn ddigwyddiad cymunedol poblogaidd iawn. Mae yna gegin dda yn y ganolfan
gymunedol, ac o'r cychwyn cyntaf rydyn ni wedi bod yn gwneud cacennau. Y syniad
gwreiddiol oedd defnyddior cynhwysion y byddech yn eu cael mewn bag o lysiau, ond mae
bellach wedi datblygun gaffi go iawn.
Ar l i dafarn y pentref gau, daeth y gydweithfa fwyd yn ganolbwynt yn y gymuned. Maen
cael ei rhedeg ochr yn ochr r gwasanaeth casglu presgripsiynau meddygol ac mae Swyddog
Cymorth Cymunedol yr Heddlu lleol yn ymweld yn rheolaidd. Mae cynnig lluniaeth wedi
cryfhaur gydweithfa drwy wneud y peth yn ddigwyddiad cymdeithasol a helpu i gysylltu
