Community groups across Falkirk are reaping the rewards of a £300,000 funding pot for food and growing - and a photography exhibition that opens soon is putting it all into focus.
The charity Forth Environment Link has been working with 20 local groups over the past six months to help bring their ideas to life, thanks to the UK Government’s Community Renewal Fund.
Inspiring local food initiatives that have received Falkirk Food Futures funding include Larbert and District Childminders Association’s allotment project. It was awarded £5688 to develop an allotment space for kids, where they are now growing and distributing food to locals in need.
