Healthy Food for All and safefood are establishing a Demonstration Programme
on Community Food Initiatives and are looking for funding applications from
eligible groups and organisations. The purpose of this funding is to establish a
Demonstration Programme of Community Food Initiatives (CFIs) on the island of
Ireland.
Between five and seven CFIs will be funded over a three year
period. Each CFI will receive annual funding over a period of three years to set
up, manage and sustain a project. Funding will be up to a maximum of €75,000
(£60,000) provided on an incremental basis over the three year period.
CFIs are projects that improve the availability and accessibility of healthy
food for low-income groups at a local level, using a community development
approach.
This funding is open to community groups or groups which have an anti-poverty
focus in their work. We would especially welcome applications from
partnerships/collaborations of different groups. As the programme has an
all-island focus, a minimum of two projects will be selected from both the
Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
For more information and to download application form, click on Community
Food Initiatives. More information about CFIs and case studies is available at
www.healthyfoodforall.com.
The closing date for applications is 30th September 2008.
