Get Togethers worked alongside two national academic partners, Coventry University and University of the West of England (UWE), to monitor and evaluate various parts of the programme. From the impact of small grants, the longevity of My Food Community, and the breadth and depth of the Network Events and campaign activities, there is a wealth of learnings and insights below.

These are free and easily accessible for all to absorb and use to help shape future community networks and events.

So many people want to reinvent the wheel all the time, in my opinion that wastes time and resources, so if we can learn from this community that we’ve developed together, then that seems like only a positive thing.
