The app enables people to find their closest Community Food Space and Queen of Greens bus stop. It also gives information about crisis food support in the city, the NHS Healthy Start Scheme, news from across the sector and upcoming Feeding Liverpool events.
The app is available on Google Play (for Android phones) and on the App Store (for iPhones). The app is also compatible with tablets and iPads.
Key features of the app include:
Community Food Spaces Map: On the home page of the app, there is a direct link to the Community Food Spaces Map, which allows you to search for the closest food space to your current location. It also provides more information about each food space, the directions to get there and their contact information.
