About Us
Aim: to improve health and well being and contribute to regeneration in disadvantaged and excluded geographical and interest communities by promoting the consumption of fruit, veg, pulses and other healthy products and encouraging and supporting volunteering which brings a range of personal, family and community benefits. The particular activities employed to support the above are Community Food Outlets, FareShare and the Fast Fruit Scheme. CFINE is now operational in Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and West Lothian.
Community Food Outlets: Presently over 120 Community Food Outlets (CFO’s)are operating in our 3 areas. These outlets provide fresh fruit, vegetables and dried goods at affordable prices to benefit the local community.
Fast Fruit supplies produce to over 125 nurseries, schools and other youth and community organisations.
FareShare: CFINE operates this scheme in Aberdeen distributing diverted food from landfill to people experiencing food poverty. Since 2007, over 180 tonnes of food has been distributed to 70 local organisations.
Social Enterprise: CFINE operates as a Social Enterprise selling fruit, veg and other produce on a commercial, but competitive, basis. CFINE supplies fruit to oil companies, restaurants, sandwich bars etc, many of which participate in the Healthy Working Lives scheme. All profit is invested in the health and community development work we do in disadvantaged and excluded communities.
CFINE Staff Team: now 19 strong. 10 staff have been recruited from the priority communities - employment creation is one of our goals!
Plus about 120 volunteers without whom it all wouldn’t work!
