The Food Legacy steering group has secretariat functions provided by Sustain: The alliance for better food and farming, a not-for-profit organisation and registered charity, which will also act as the point of contact for the wider group of organisations that we will seek to work with to promote the Food Legacy aims.
The Food Legacy programme is funded by the Mayor of London as part of implementation of the London Food Strategy, with contributions also from London Food Link and New Covent Garden Market Authority. It is also supported by the London Food Board and Sustain's Sustainable Fish City project. If your organisation might consider funding an event or other promotional activity, please get in touch (email: foodlegacy@sustainweb.org). Please note that no exclusive arrangements can be entered into, and that some types of funding may not be acceptable, in line with Sustain's ethical funding policy and the terms and conditions of our funders and supporters.
