Oldham council in partnership with Stir to Action and Community Fed Oldham have launched a new grant programme inviting Oldham residents to design an enterprise or service to reduce food poverty and increase resilience in the borough.
Grants are available for new or scaling food enterprises that are developing effective responses to local food insecurity and focusing on long-term change, social impact, and increasing employment in the local food sector. These include, but are not limited to, projects such as community growing, food co-operatives, community cafes and community food kitchens.

Bridging the Gap: Nationwide programme exploring ways to bridge the gap between climate and nature-friendly food and people on low incomes, via farmer-focused supply chains.
