About the Medway Food Partnership
The Medway Food Partnership is working with local businesses and the not-for-profit sector to:
- make sure everyone has access to sustainable and healthy food
- build the public’s education and skills around healthy food
- create healthier communities and better futures for our residents.
Our aim is to support healthy and happy communities whilst ensuring that we create an eco-friendly and sustainable economy.
Food creates opportunities to bring people together, celebrate our cultures and make new connections with people.
The Medway Food Partnership was launched in July 2020.

How we will achieve our vision
By working in partnership with local organisation and businesses, we will create a food culture in Medway that is fair for all.
We want to educate our young people about food, providing knowledge through childcare settings and schools.
We want to help support a vibrant and sustainable local food economy.
How the Medway Food Partnership is run
To help us achieve our vision, we've created 5 subgroups:
- Poverty, food security and emergency food support
- Healthy food for all and education and skills
- Climate change and the environment
- Business and procurement
- Oral health.
Each of these subgroups hold regular meetings, focusing on a particular area of the partnership to help drive forward action.
Medway Food Strategy 2024 to 2030
The Medway Food Partnership is dedicated to fostering a healthier, fairer and more sustainable system across Medway.
We’re working with partners from local organisations, businesses, schools, and health services to create an environment where everyone has access to affordable and nutritious food.
The Medway Food Strategy is our shared plan to guide this work. It sets out our vision and priorities for the years ahead and helps us take action together.
