The NACC backs the Love British Food Campaign
Love British Food is a leading player in effecting change in the way that food is sourced and also leads British Food Fortnight, the national food celebration that takes place every autumn
The National Association of Care Catering (NACC) has signed up to support the influential Love British Food campaign.
Love British Food is a leading player in effecting change in the way that food is sourced. It also leads British Food Fortnight, the national food celebration that takes place every autumn and is scheduled to run from Friday, 26th September to Sunday, 12th October this year.
Both organisations believe in nutritionally sound, seasonal menus with as many of the ingredients as possible being gathered from within Great Britain, ideally locally. In future, the NACC will co-chair the Hospital and Care Catering working group.
Neel Radia, national chair of the NACC said: "We are delighted as an Association to be working in partnership with Love British Food and being part of their Hospital and Care Catering working group.
“Now that sustainability is high on the agenda in care homes, there has never been a more relevant time to be in this partnership, which will enable us to support our members in accessing greater resources and knowledge to achieve a more sustainable future."
Alexia Robinson, founder and CEO of Love British Food was equally enthusiastic, saying: "There is a huge appetite for buying British, particularly in the public sector. We have worked with lots of the leading care home organisations and the NACC for many years and are delighted that with Neel wants to take our partnership to a new level. We have appointed him joint chair of the Love British Food Hospital & Care Catering Working Group and are now working closely together on plans for British Food Fortnight. We will be encouraging all care homes across the UK to take part in the national food celebrations this year."
