About our Royston project:
North
Glasgow Community Food Initiative’s ‘Healthier Eating Royston Experience’ (HERE) project will, over two
years, help bring about improvements to local eating habits. It is estimated that a minimum of 800 residents
of the Royston area will benefit from the project including, families, young people, older people and those with addiction
needs. The project which is funded by the Big Lottery fund through the Our Place programme will provide the local community
with, increased access to affordable fruit and vegetables, improved health through healthy eating support and increased knowledge
and experience of growing food. HERE is delivering a range of activities some of which are outlined
below:

Fruit and Veg
Our newest Barra has started up in the community room in the "Blochairn Housing Association"
between 2.30pm and 4pm on a Monday (1 Blochairn Road, Glasgow).
Our "Veg van" project is causing
a bit of excitement. Lots of people seem keen to get the van on the road to deliver fruit and veg. Watch this space for more
