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.

What makes the Helston Local Food Hub different is its relationships with over 30 local producers whose stock is delivered every Saturday morning so customers can collect in Helston, Constantine, Mullion and St Keverne and Porthallow.
A community garden project in Helston is not only providing a communal space for residents to plant and harvest their own food, but also helping people to learn new skills to help take them further in life. 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. However, after being pretty much finished off today (Friday 23) with the partnership of InsideOut and Rebuild South West, it has become much more than a place for people to grow their own food.
A new project has been launched to help people make small changes in their lives to reduce their carbon footprint - and potentially save money at the same time. It is being led by Helston Climate Action group members, who hope to get a better picture of the town's impact on the environment. The Helston Footprints project is using the website Giki Zero and will be creating groups for people to log in to. To help gauge the progress, people will be asked to fill in a survey before they take the questionnaire, then again at the end after they have implemented some of the changes.
