The Tameside Food Partnership works towards Tameside’s aims to be a place where everyone can access good quality, healthy, affordable food; where we enjoy a healthy diet and where the food in the borough is produced and sourced locally and responsibly; in turn this supports the local economy and helps to sustain the environment.
