Scarborough Community Food Mapping Project is a partnership project between Sure Start, the Primary Care Trust and the local Pact Partnerships. The project is led by a group of local volunteers who are interested in the promotion of healthy eating.

The aim is to investigate “the barriers that local families encounter in terms of eating a healthy, nutritious diet” within the identified communities (listed below).

A series of informal and interactive consultations have taken place within the communities of Barrowcliff, Castle, Central, Falsgrave and Edgehill. These communities were chosen as they rank particularly highly in terms of deprivation and have been targeted by recent EU regeneration projects and Sure Start initiatives.

The community groups that took part in the consultation process are listed below:

• Sure Start Children’s Centre – Briercliffe.

• Sure Start - Talbot House, Central.

• Castle Community Office – Market Vaults.

• Market Vaults Foyer.

• Elders Street Day Centre.

• Falsgrave Community Resource Centre.

• Butterfly Childcare – Falsgrave Community Resource Centre.

• Scarborough Library.

• The Patch Club – St Mary’s Rainbow Centre.

• Busy Bees After-School Club – Sure Start Children’s Centre.

• Hinderwell Community School – Parents’ Evening.

• St James’ Church – Parents and Tots Group.

• Rainbow Club – Wreyfield Methodist Church.

• Teenage Drop-In – Sure Start Children’s Centre.
