The Project
STC is working with a number of partners including Selby Association of Voluntary Services (Selby AVS) and North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) to promote an affordable vegetable box delivery scheme within the community.
Our aim is to reach as many people as possible for whom eating fresh fruit and vegetables may be limited for various reasons including no local shops, poor local transport, ill health, low income and often Poor knowledge about the benefits of a healthy diet.
In the first instance, through the work of Selby AVS, our pilot box scheme has targeted communities where there are no local shops. Boxes of fresh fruit and vegetables are delivered weekly to designated community centres, using links with Selby Community Transport Schemes. Numbers of boxes have slowly increased and we have now expanding to other centres in the Selby area
