The focus of our preliminary research was to understand how ‘food can support and connect the socio-spatial structures of care within SADACCA and the City of Sheffield.’ Through our inquiry of the infrastructure of care, it was important to highlight the capacity to care, the capacity to connect, the capacity to repair and maintain of the African-Caribbean diaspora community.

That is, a diaspora of members identifying as Black, African and/ or Caribbean, but equally diverse due to a plethora of synthetic ethnicities and diaspora experiences.
