Home Visit Fruit and Veg Project

Summary Summary 

The project is aimed at providing a fresh fruit and vegetable delivery scheme for older people who request it in the Burford/Carterton area of West Oxfordshire. The goal is to have a useful reason to visit elderly people and in typical circumstances be able for stay with them for around 20 minutes for a social visit.

    • Burford – limited availability of locally produced fresh fruit and veg – people have to travel, especially difficult for the elderly

    • Elderly demographic in Burford and surrounding area who would not only benefit from fresh produce but also regular social visits from a volunteer

    • Potential for engaging broad sector of society in volunteering, local food production, elderly – youth contact, revitalising rural communities.

    This project is currently in the planning phase, if you have any thoughts or comments please contact us.
