A web app that helps families and individuals find their nearest food support service has been given a revamp, making it easier and quicker to use.
The Access to Food Partnership Map App lists a range of different food support available across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole including food banks, community fridges, social supermarkets, community meals, cookery workshops, and emergency food services.
With a re-designed map to help users easily locate the service they need, the new look web app also includes a ‘What’s open now’ feature and a current list of services including opening times.
Alistair Doxat-Purser, Chair of the Access to Food Partnership said: “With a range of different services across BCP, our new Map App makes it even easier for people to find their nearest support, whether this be a food bank if they have a referral, a free or low-cost meal, or surplus food through a social supermarket or community fridge.
“The newly designed app also makes it simple for us to update should there be a change to a service or opening hours, greatly improving the user experience.”
Designed by Poole agency V88, who specialise in no-code business solutions, the Access to Food Map App can be viewed and downloaded through your usual web browser on your mobile phone, tablet or laptop/computer.
Oscar Brooks, CEO at V88, commented: “Alistair and the Access to Food Partnership were among our earliest clients, and although we now serve a global audience, we’re incredibly proud to continue supporting a local business and such a meaningful cause.”
