FEEDING LIVERPOOL – QUEEN OF GREENS

The Queen of Greens bus is a new mobile greengrocer bringing affordable fresh fruit and vegetables to communities across Liverpool and Knowsley to boost access to healthy food and tackle health inequalities. Some areas visited on the route are classed as ‘food deserts’, where residents currently have to travel a kilometre or more to reach a supermarket selling ‘green’ produce, 800 metres to a convenience store, or 500 metres to a fresh market stall. The new Queen of Greens bus will visit 29 stops each week including schools, hospitals, health and community centres, providing people with better opportunities to shop for nutritious food closer to their home or workplace. The project is a partnership between charities Feeding Liverpool, which is leading the city’s Good Food Plan to create a city where ‘everyone can eat good food’, and Feedback project Alchemic Kitchen, with funding from Feeding Britain. Healthy Start cards and Alexandra Rose vouchers are accepted.
