Who Is SCFI?

Skelmersdale Community Food Initiative (SCFI) is a Healthy Living Centre providing imaginative, practical and sustainable community based food projects. SCFI promotes healthier choices and information via our food delivery sessions and also work individually with many members of the community.

Why was SCFI set up?

Like every area Skelmersdale has its own unique characteristics. Centred on basic amenities, the town’s residents have limited access to safe, affordable and nutritious food.  SCFI helps improve the quality of life for people living in Skelmersdale, in terms of physical, social and mental well-being. 

What is the aim of SCFI?

SCFI helps meet community needs through running and assisting schemes in two project areas with a third project currently being developed called ‘Bag a Bargain’

Wellbeing – Promoting educational and practical opportunities to cook and eat healthily and stay within budget

Health Trainers - To specifically support families in Skelmersdale

Food Access & Availability - To be re-launched in 2010 - Enabling  access to low cost fresh fruit and vegetables.
