Our applications window is now open!
We're delighted to share with you the news that Growing Livelihoods is now accepting applications for the next five projects.
We're looking for applications from people involved in small-scale food production. If you're using innovation and co-operation to create viable livelihoods in farming - particularly for young people and those looking for a new career direction - then we'd
love to hear from you!
Growing Livelihoods is a joint initiative between the Carnegie UK Trust, Plunkett Foundation and the Land Settlement Association Charitable Trust that is working to create, test and promote new opportunities in smaller-scale food growing for those new to the
sector, young people or those seeking a new direction. This initiative has a particular focus on the use of co-operation and innovation to help create viable livelihoods in this sector.
Growing Livelihoods is currently supporting five pilot groups. One of them, Sutton Community Farm, is pictured above. The application process to recruit five more pilot groups is open
until 4th June 2015. Each pilot will receive a grant of £6,500, access to specialist support and be part of a Growing Livelihoods Network where they can link up with other groups trying
to achieve similar aims. Details on how to apply are available on Carnegie UK Trust’s website. Use the button below to find out more.
