Support for Northamptonshire Food and Drink Sector

Groundwork Northamptonshire is sponsoring this year’s Northamptonshire NNBN Business Awards.

Kate Williams, CEO of Groundwork Northamptonshire, said: “We promote healthy eating and healthy lifestyles and have just launched our ‘Grow, Cook, Eat’ project, for food-based community projects in Northamptonshire, to inspire people to get creative. That is why it felt like the perfect time to sponsor the NNBN Food and Drink Award category, to support our county’s restaurants, cafes, bars, producers and farmers.”

Grow, Cook, Eat – funded by Public Health Northamptonshire and managed by the team from Groundwork Northamptonshire – is the charity’s two-year programme focused on improving people’s physical and mental health and supporting people and community groups to grow their own food, as well as cook and eat more healthily.

The charity is committed to educating the community about nutrition, and they host a range of cooking courses and projects to inspire people to get planting, cooking and eating. They are a perfect match to be our sponsor for this category. Thank you to Groundwork Northamptonshire and all of the other sponsors.”

Kate Williams, Executive Director at Groundwork Northamptonshire, said: “As a charity, we are all about giving back to our community. We are proud to be sponsoring the Food & Drink category, it is a topic that aligns with our projects very well, and we love celebrating fellow food and drink organisations within Northamptonshire. We have just launched our ‘Grow, Cook, Eat’ grants scheme, for food-based community projects in north Northants. We hope to encourage people to get creative with project ideas, with focuses on growing, cooking and eating.”
