Capital Growth


Capital Growth Local Leads

Are you involved in food-growing activities in your local borough? Are you interested in running a local food-growing network?


Launch of local food-growing network, in Tower Hamlets

The role of the Local Leads is to build on local activity and initiatives and develop further opportunities for local food-growing projects to share information, resources and develop ideas.  This brings together not only local Capital Growth spaces but also other groups and individuals involved in food growing locally.

We envisage that this may fit with current activities for a number of organisations, and enhance the activities that they are already delivering.  It also provide the opportunity for groups to launch a new network.

We have awarded Local Lead status to organisations from 25 boroughs (see list below).
