COMMUNITY FOOD ENTERPRISE LIMITED

Our mission is to partner with the diverse people of Newham, the East London region, and nationally with those with similar needs, to safeguard and sustain their right to the right food as a fundamental condition for individual and community health and well-being. We will realise this mission by enhancing food access, by promoting best practices in diet and nutrition, and by appropriate education.
