Local Food - Funding available

Managed by the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT) and 15 consortium partners, Local Food will distribute grants to a variety of food-related projects to help make locally grown food accessible and affordable to local communities.

Communities will benefit from improved health and well-being through exercise and better nutrition; strengthened local economies through the creation of social enterprises;
and more sustainability through the better use of resources.

Grants from £2,000 up to £500,000 will be awarded to not-for-profit groups and organisations in England delivering such projects as growing, processing, marketing and distributing local food; composting and raising awareness of the benefits of such activities.

The fund is now open to applications. Further details, including application forms and guidance notes are be available from Local Food’s website .
