Q&A: Small Grants for Food Activities

Bwyd Sir Gâr Food is offering six grants of £2,000 to fund activities aimed at eliminating inequality, promoting equality, and fostering good relations between people. The grants are available to community organisations across Carmarthenshire, and this fund is aimed specifically to enable and amplify participation of members of groups with one or more Protected Characteristic.

Through innovative and engaging food related activities and events, funded activity will bring people together to facilitate ‘food conversations’, on how we can work together collectively for an inclusive, resilient, sustainable and fair food system locally and globally. The outcomes of these conversations will contribute to the development of a food charter for Carmarthenshire collated by Bwyd Sir Gâr Food.

This is a Welsh Government Ministry of Justice Local Food Partnership Development Fund, administered by Social Farms & Gardens on behalf of Bwyd Sir Gâr Food. Collaborative applications between organisations are welcomed.
