Innovation and the New Public Service- a Civic Society contribution to the Welsh Food Debate Friday 7th December 2007, 2 - 4pm Meeting Rooms 1-3 Suite, 1st Floor, The Open University in Wales, 18 Custom House Street, Cardiff CF10 1AP We are currently awash with information about food issues. This free workshop will specifically be considering the needs of population groups, such as pregnant mums, children and young people, Black and Ethnic Minorities, disabled and older people who are especially vulnerable. In particular, we plan to explore food in the context of schools; hospitals, nursing and residential homes; community-based services such as 'meals on wheels'; fresh food access for people without public and private transport, especially in bad weather or when they are ill and without support. Other participants may wish to contribute views on other aspects of the Assembly 'Quality of Food' / Welsh Food Debate, such as the sustainable agriculture, mental health, low income, climate change and physical activity. The role of civic society, local Health Social Care and Wellbeing strategies, funding community development, and other issues arising from the current interim review of the 'Food and Wellbeing' strategy may be considered. Action follows words. You may or may not wish to respond to the official Debate, but your views can be another piece of the jigsaw, which can be fed into a collective response, following this collaborative event. This discussion will be limited to around 24 participants from a diversity of backgrounds. Apply to attend by providing your name, address, organisation (if applicable), and email or telephone number to the Welsh Food Alliance. To help ensure an inclusive event the Assembly have provided a limited number of travel bursaries.
