Helston Local Food Hub celebrates its one year anniversary

A Cornish local food hub celebrated its one anniversary last week having started during the first national lockdown. The Helston Local Food Hub started during the first Covid-19 national lockdown when Helston Farmers’ Market was unable to open and producers had lost a valuable market whilst customers were no longer able to easily access their favourite local food. The Helston Local Food Hub, which is run by Alastair Cameron and supported by Helston Climate Action Group, operates in a similar way to a click and collect service at a supermarket.

The Incredible Edible Helston project at Coronation Park was started by the Helston Climate Action Group as a way of providing the community with a space in which they could grow their own food, promote biodiversity and reduce carbon emissions. The community garden is a collaboration between Helston Climate Action Group, Rebuild South West and InsideOut.
