What's the big idea?

We want to help Londoners transform the capital by creating 2,012 new food growing spaces by the end of 2012.

Capital Growth is a partnership initiative between London Food Link, the Mayor of London Boris Johnson, and the Big Lottery's Local Food Fund. It is championed by the Chair of the London Food Board Rosie Boycott and aims to create 2012 new community food growing spaces across London by the end of 2012.  Capital Growth offers practical help, grants, training and support to groups wanting to establish community food growing projects as well as advice to landowners. 

What can Capital Growth offer you?

We hold occassional funding rounds to provide small grants to groups who would like support to implement or expand a community food growing space.  The project is also able to provide other resources and savings, as well as lots of inkind support to people setting up new food growing spaces.  Any ideas or offers of support, of course, are most welcome, especially from people with specialist expertise.
