We aim to ensure that all communities can access, enjoy and celebrate growing spaces within Glasgow. This fund will help support these spaces and encourage others to become involved and grow their fruit and vegetables locally.
The grant cannot be used to fund existing running costs or existing staffing costs.
You will apply by filling out the online application form.
Please get in touch with the Food Growing team if you require a different format of the application form.
Applicants will be asked to upload a copy of your constitution or other governing document, a copy of a recent bank statement and an image to represent your project. This image will be used online to promote the project. You must have permission to use the image in this way.
The applications will be checked to ensure they meet the Let's Grow Together Fund criteria. They will then be peer reviewed by the Community Food Growers Forum.
Once projects are recommended for funding you will be informed if your project is successful, and the money will be allocated to your organisation (or partner organisation) before the end of January 2023.
The online form includes the following questions:
You will be asked to upload a copy of the governing document of the organisation applying for the Let's Grow Together Grant as well as a copy of a recent bank statement (for the same organisation). These are required to assess eligibility.
You will also have the opportunity to upload an image to represent your project. This is optional.
Please make sure you have all the necessary information at hand when filling in the online form as you will not be able to save your progress through the application and return to it.
The application is divided in three sections. You will progress through the form by clicking the 'Next' button at the bottom of each section. Your application will be sent to us once you click the 'Submit' button on the final page.
