What do you think about food in Islington? 

What do you eat? Where does it come from? What makes it hard to waste less? How could food be fairer, greener and better in our borough?  

Help shape the future of food in Islington. 

Have your say!

Join Islington Climate Centre, Islington Food Partnership and Octopus Community Network for a People’s Assembly all about food — what works, what needs to change, and what we can build together. 

What is a People’s Assembly? 

A People’s Assembly is a simple, welcoming way for a community to think, talk and act together. With facilitators to guide the process, everyone gets space to speak, listen and contribute ideas for collective action. 

What we’ll explore 

We’ll be guided by key themes, but open to anything you bring: 

• Food waste 
• Food supply chains 
• Right to Grow  
• Politics of food 
• Access to affordable & healthy food 
• Sustainable food choices 

Specialist speakers will kick things off, followed by small-group discussions. 

Event details:

6.30pm–9.30pm, Tuesday 27th January 2026 

Brickworks Community Centre, 42 Crouch Hill, Finsbury Park, London N4 4BY 

Come along to share your experiences, frustrations, hopes and solutions — and help shape a better food future for Islington.
