“…The results support social enterprises having a role in responding to household food insecurity in high‐income countries. Consistent with other research, the innovation that these enterprises embody is their capacity to help redress broad system failures at local levels (Mason et al, ). The regular weekly markets offer increased economic and physical access to a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, and both food insecure/low‐income people, and the general public are the multicultural loyal customer base.…”

Like many high‐income countries, in Australia there are a range of programmes in place, from social security to food banks, to help address food insecurity. So far, they have been unable to adequately alleviate and prevent this growing nutrition challenge. This paper presents an evaluation of a new type of intervention in the food security landscape, the social enterprise. The Community Grocer is a social enterprise that operates weekly fresh fruit and vegetable markets in Melbourne, Australia. The aim of the study was to examine the market's ability to increase access, use and availability of nutritious food in a socially acceptable way, for low socioeconomic status urban‐dwelling individuals. The mixed‐method evaluation included: comparative price audits (n = 27) at local (<1 km) stores; analysis of operational data from sample markets (n = 3); customer surveys (n = 91) and customer interviews (n = 12), collected in two phases (Autumn 2017, Summer 2018). The results found common (n = 10) fruit and vegetables cost, on average, approximately 40% less at the social enterprise, than local stores. Over twenty per cent of customers were food insecure and 80% of households were low income. Thirty‐four different nationalities shopped at the market, and just over half (54%) shopped there weekly. More than 50 types of vegetables and fruit were available to purchase, varying for cultural preferences and seasonality, which supported variety and choice. Overall, this enterprise promotes food security in a localised area through low‐cost, convenient, dignified and nutritious offerings.

“…These attributes emerged across the focus group that representing young and adult Muslims community. This finding is supporting the call for innovation in social change such as in health promotion [23]. Therefore, it is recommended that further study be undertaken of this scenario by investigating if and how Islamic understanding, knowledge and skills affect the implementer's faith-based communication performance.…”

Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to explore the attributes (basis and values) of faith-based communication strategy on health communication. Eight series of focus group studies on Muslim community were conducted to gather the data. The finding makes abundantly clear that the tawhidic (the belief in Oneness of God) conception significantly determine the effectiveness of Islamic communication message. In addition, there were another six themes that contributes to Islamic health communication attributes which may influence the receiver's attitudes and behaviours. The insights of this paper may contribute to the further development of health promotion strategies for Muslims community.

“…For diocesan management there is no one model or directive, except to avoid middle class capture and ensure a Christian ethos. The local mix of domestic skills training, arts practices, recycling crafts, information technology applications and reflective time slots can as readily be termed an 'Ecospace' as a 'Lifespan' centre, so long as what one international city terms ' bridging social capital' and another 'socially balanced investment' are achieved (Pacione, 2004, Gerardo, 2015, Mason et al, 2015.…”

Creational narratives for new housing communities: evidence synthesis AbstractPurpose: This paper reports the findings of a rapid evidence synthesis commissioned by the Diocese of Winchester in England. The remit was to provide an empirical basis for church contributions to large housing community developments. It sought to respond to three questions concerning new community developments. These related to risks and causes of failure; learning from past corporate and intermediate tier interventions at diocesan and equivalent levels by religious denominations; and the transferable learning available from developments described in Community Health and Liveability literatures. Methodology:The review took a purposive approach to sampling evidence from within academic literature, policy and 'think tank' outputs and theological texts. The search was instigated with the use of key words (including New Settlements, Urban Redevelopment, Diocese, Faith and Community), principally within the SCOPUS, NIHR, PUBMED and Google Scholar databases. A pragmatic snowballing approach to relevant references was then employed. The review was undertaken from June to September, 2016.Findings: Segregation and separation were identified as the main risk for new settlements. Connectivity is required between and across neighbours, ensuring communal access to services, transport and recreation. Communal places where people can come together for conversation and social interaction are identified as contributing significantly to healthy communities. Churches have a particular positive contribution to make here, through a focus on inclusion, hospitality and common values, rather than single faith-based, evangelical approaches. Practical ImplicationsThe initial effect of the study has been to increase confidence in and awareness of the diocesan contribution. In the longer term the three areas of practice highlighted for enhanced faith based contributions are those of public communications, community integration and civic leadership. An evidence based approach appears to be especially significant in facilitating the latter.Originality: The importance of 'creational narratives' in defining and making explicit the values underpinning new housing communities, is identified as a singular source of shared motivation for planning and faith agencies.
