Cornwall Food Access Alliance (CFAA) is a thematic alliance looking at food poverty. We are one of the 17 themed alliances developed by Cornwall Voluntary Sector Forum.
CFAA is Chaired by Rev’d Andrew Yates (Diocese of Truro and Cornwall Faith Forum) and links together Cornish organisations and community projects working to alleviate food poverty.
