Useful Resources

There are many resources that the partnership can take advantage of, this section will be updated as and when new information is available.

Feeding Britain

The Camden Food Partnership is a member of Feeding Britain. They have put together a collection of resources for food projects. It includes toolkits, webinars and template documents such as how to set up an affordable food clubs, how to link to wraparound support as well as research and evidence. They have been shared in good faith to help save time and share practice.

Healthy Start

The Healthy Start scheme helps give your family the best start in life. If you’re pregnant or have children under the age of 4, you could be entitled to help to buy basic healthy foods, milk and free vitamins.

Cost of Living Support

If a resident is struggling to afford the essentials – including food, and energy bills – or if they have debt, help is available. This is the latest leaflet from Camden Council summarising the help for those who are struggling with the cost of living. Contact us if you need physical or translated copies.

Shared Learning Agenda

In 2024, the CFP, in partnership with FEAST With Us, produced a short video that highlights the amazing services and initiatives within the network. This video project aims to encourage collaboration between CFP organisations and facilitate knowledge-sharing of best practices and overcoming challenges. Our focus was on the provision of nutritious food offers, though we touched on a variety of themes, including volunteers, operations and logistics, and sustainability.

The video captures the highlights of this project, though we also produced a written report to coincide with this and summarise broader discussions that couldn't be featured in the short video.

You can watch the video below and read the report HERE. We would love to here your thoughts, so feel free to share any feedback you have or whether you would like to be involved in a similar project in the future. Feedback can be shared with Naomi at naomi@feastwithus.org.uk.

A huge thank you to Calthorpe Community Garden, Refugee Community Kitchen, Cooperation Town and Foodscape for providing such valuable insights and for welcoming us into your spaces. Another thank you goes to the fantastic volunteers who helped us produce the video: Frank Lopez (videographer & editor), Ana-Maria Udriste (editor), William Potts (editor).

Thenga Cafe - San used to work for YMCA and Camden Council as a health and fitness instructor many years ago. This experience led to them creating Thenga Cafe with the aim to:

Create a healthier community (offering a vegan menu)
Be sustainable (less impact on the environment and less waste - vegan)
Be affordable (this is a bit tricky for us, we try and keep the pricing as reasonable as possible. We would like everyone to afford our lunches)
Encourage community collaborations - we currently partner with Calthorpe Community Gardens and Holburn Community Assoc. Our main charity is ForRefugees.

We also open up our space for all charity / community organisations to use for free for awareness and fundraising, and support advertising charity / community services.

Our food is of Indian origin a mix of south and east Indian with our twist. If you ask any of our guests, they will say it's like home cooked food. All of our dishes are vegan except our samosas (this is vegetarian, the pastry has milk). Our lead times are 1 week in advance, but we can turnaround in 1 day if it’s urgent.
