Local Project Boosts Access to Festive Produce

A project to help local people access fruit and veg more easily for their Christmas dinners and beyond has been hailed a success.
Known as Fresh Street Community project, the pilot voucher scheme delivered in Whitleigh, Plymouth has seen an increase in local fruit and veg consumption.
Led by a team comprising of community food researchers, University of Plymouth academics and students, and fruit and vegetable wholesaler Tamar Fresh, the two-year project saw local residents given vouchers to pick up fresh fruit and veg fortnightly from the Salvation Army Hall.
