Funding
We're offering small grants of £150 from June 2020 to April 2021. The grants are to support community led food growing, cooking and sharing activity and Get Togethers.
“Families have been hugely grateful for the contact and support as it helps not only the individual, but the rest of the household or support network too.”
Christine Falconer, Horticultural Instructor at Parklea Branching Out.
