Working towards better food for Southampton: the Southampton Food Partnership’s first operational year
The Southampton Food Partnership (SFP) is an inclusive partnership of public, private, charitable and community sector members. In September 2024,we obtained strategic support from leaders across the health and care system, and from across political parties, to formally adopt a partnership approach to healthy, sustainable food through Southampton City Council’s Health and Wellbeing Board5. This endorsement of the Southampton Food Partnership energised us to build a long-term successful collaboration. We meet bimonthly, providing infrastructure to enable continuity, creating new connections, driving collaboration and regular communication. Our gatherings include agenda setting, project updates, peer learning, and dedicated space for members to connect. In October 2024, we became a member of the Sustainable Food Places scheme6 which gave the SFP an official webpage7 and access to a network of other food partnerships and a host of resources and expertise.

Abstract
The Southampton Food Partnership (SFP) is an inclusive partnership of public, private, charitable and community sector members. In September 2024,we obtained strategic support from leaders across the health and care system, and from across political parties, to formally adopt a partnership approach to healthy, sustainable food through Southampton City Council’s Health and Wellbeing Board5. This endorsement of the Southampton Food Partnership energised us to build a long-term successful collaboration. We meet bimonthly, providing infrastructure to enable continuity, creating new connections, driving collaboration and regular communication. Our gatherings include agenda setting, project updates, peer learning, and dedicated space for members to connect. In October 2024, we became a member of the Sustainable Food Places scheme6 which gave the SFP an official webpage7 and access to a network of other food partnerships and a host of resources and expertise.
