SGF healthyliving programme training and training the trainers sessions

CFHS is working with the Scottish Grocers Federation (SGF) and community food networks to roll out the SGF 'Healthy Living' programme to community food co-ops and community food outlets. Two training sessions, on how to sell more fruit and vegetable and waste less, are being held in Stirling on 30 September and Rigside in South Lanarkshire on 8 October. Both sessions are open anyone working in community food co-ops, fruit and vegetable barras, fruit stalls and community-managed shops. Groups that take part in a training session will be able to apply for the long-term loan of one of the two types of healthyliving programme’s display stands that are available. If you want to attend, please complete and return our application form (PDF 2 mb) by 10 September. 

We are also running a Training the Trainers session for community food organisations involved in managing or supporting community food co-ops, outlets and stalls. The session will look at the ’healthyliving’ programme’s training materials in more detail, enabling participants to deliver the programme’s training session within their own organisations and others that they work with.  The session is being held on 6 October in Glasgow,. It is open to anyone who has, or will have, a role in supporting others who are working in community food co-ops, stalls or outlets.  We would like participants to have some experience of delivering training.  If you want to take part in the Training the Trainers session, but have no previous training experience, we will assist you to find a suitable opportunity to develop training skills.  To book a place, or for more information, contact Anne.
