Good Food Plan Pledge ideas

Everyone has a role to play in creating a city where we can all eat good food.

On 10th November the city’s leaders, businesses, community groups and residents are coming together as part of Liverpool’s Good Food Plan to take part in a the Good Food Plan Pledge event at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, sharing how they are going to take part in creating a city where everyone can eat good food.

Unsure what to pledge? Here are a few ideas for businesses, charities and individuals to get you started:

I pledge to…

  • Become a Real Living Wage employer and offer employees Real Living Hours
  • Appoint a good food champion in our organisation
  • Undertaking food insecurity screening with our employees
  • Host a good food consultation with our staff or service users

  • Host a Good Food event for our employees and their families
