Food for Life Get Togethers bring people of all ages and from different backgrounds together through growing, cooking and connecting with good food, with the support of the National Lottery Community Fund.

As part of our small grants offer, we have some emergency funding available to assist with community led responses centered around food and growing initiatives to spend within the next 3 months.
