There will be webinars on Wednesday 11th October where people can come and find out more, sign up via the website. Action Learning Grants
Deadline: 7 November 2023 Through the Action Learning Grants Just FACT want people to identify a problem in our local food system, then try out ideas and solutions. What we learn will contribute to their Blueprint research. Just FACT want to explore how our relationship to food can be transformed, what might empower and enable us to make more sustainable food choices in a way that celebrates culture and traditions, and what bigger changes are needed to create a food system that works better for people and the planet. Just FACT want to know what the challenges and opportunities for change are in a borough like Tower Hamlets. All organisations and groups who receive funding will join the Just FACT Partnership. The Women’s Environmental Network (Wen) is the organisation awarding the grants with funding from the National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund. You can read about their participatory approach here. There is a limited amount of funding available through Just FACT Action Learning Grants, so they’ve also compiled a list of other sources of funding that might be useful to your and your projects.

Community Hub Grants Deadline: 7 November 2023 For projects that bring together local residents – such as families, intergenerational groups, social circles, young people or other social circles in Tower Hamlets – for conversation, learning and taking action together on food and climate issues. Projects will build on the cultural, experiential and practical knowledge and skills that already exists within Tower Hamlets. They will value the wider benefits of activities such as health and wellbeing, saving money, and creating joy and connection. Find out more
Community Lab Grants Deadline: 7 November 2023 Community Labs grants are a way of applying for larger amounts of funding for community-driven projects that help reduce carbon emissions from our food system. Your project will demonstrate that a new system is possible, presenting an alternative to what exists at the moment. Projects could look at any part of the food system – from farming, manufacturing, packaging, transporting, retailing, food preparation, consumption, and how waste is managed. Your project might involve new infrastructure, new enterprise, and solutions that have the potential to be replicable and long-term. This could involve creating something new, or building on or expanding something that already exists. Find out more |
