Stroudco - Local Food Distribution

This Survive & Thrive film is one of 4 case studies telling the stories of rural social and community enterprises across South West England. Survive & Thrive helps rural community and social enterprises to build better businesses, make more money, and achieve better social and environmental impacts through training, events and learning from others.

Survive & Thrive is a project of the Development Trusts Association in the South West, funded by Capacitybuilders until 2011, and is one of four social enterpise programmes co-ordinated by RISE; the voice for South West Social Enterprise.

Stroudco provides local people with a new way of linking with local producers to buy good food and drink at fair prices for consumers and producers.

Stroudco appears to be a great model. I love how it focuses on building relationships between producers and consumers, and the long-term benefits of having those relationships. Great idea and implementation. And the video is good too - very engaging & informative. Well done.

Lovely concept, lovely video. All power to you in Stroudco and hope the idea is taken up elsewhere.

Brilliant project - and so good they are thinking about how it can be replicated, even going so far as to make the online ordering software free to anyone. Fab!

Fantastic video showing a great community-led project in action. Let's hope other people are inspired to do the same.
