Deadline: 28-Feb-25
The Monmouthshire Food Partnership is seeking applications from third-sector organisations, community groups and social enterprises who are contributing to Monmouthshire’s good food movement.
They are particularly interested in projects that will benefit disadvantaged communities, for example: those experiencing social isolation, low income, unemployment, poor health, barriers to housing, or poor living conditions. Projects should promote diversity and inclusion (including promoting the Welsh language).
Objectives
- Projects must meet at least one of these objectives:
- addressing food poverty
- increasing access to healthy, nutritious food
- educational activities linked to food
- bringing people together through good food
- linking local producers and consumers
- promoting discussion about ethical, sustainable food choices
- encouraging sustainable food production
Funding Information
- There are two tiers of grant:
- lower tier is £0–£300 incl. VAT
- higher tier is £301–£2,500 incl. VAT
Eligibility Criteria
- Projects must be delivered in Monmouthshire and led by the community, though collaborations with local food businesses/producers are encouraged.
- Applications must be submitted by an incorporated group or social enterprise with a bank account. They cannot accept applications from individuals.
- Collaborations between communities and businesses will be especially welcome.
Application Requirements
- Requirements for applying:
- They will decline any grant applications where there is no organisational or community group bank account to transfer the grant into.
- They are only able to award one grant per organisation.
- They won’t consider any applications which involve promoting any corporate organisation, political activities or promoting any religious beliefs. They will consider projects led by religious organisations if they’re for the good of the whole community.
- They won’t consider projects that have already happened or will be finished before the grant payment can be made.
