We’re thrilled to share that Alexandra Rose Charity has reached the final three in the shortlist for this year’s BBC Food & Farming Awards in the Food Innovation category!
This is a huge accolade for our work in delivering our Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project around the UK and our innovative Fruit & Veg on Prescription Project, which launched in the London Boroughs of Lambeth and Tower Hamlets last year, with funding from the public health teams at Tower Hamlets Council and Lambeth Council and Impact on Urban Health. Both projects help people afford fresh fruit and veg for themselves and their families, helping to support a healthy diet and improve diet-related ill health.
We were delighted earlier this week to welcome Dan Saladino from BBC Radio 4 to our project in Southwark to hear about the difference Rose Vouchers are making in this community. If you’d like to tune in, the feature will go out on The Food Programme, BBC Radio 4 on Sunday 10th September at 12:30.
