Hull Food Partnership – small grants programme open for 2022

In order to support Hull Food Inequality Alliance and the numerous other organisations who are working to tackle food poverty in the city, Hull Food Partnership has developed a small grants programme funded by Reckitt and Hull City Council. The aims of which are to enable local organisations to pilot new approaches to addressing food poverty and financial inclusion together.

Grants available:

• £2,000 grants – for pilot projects to explore how new approaches to financial exclusion can enable people experiencing food insecurity to eat well and reduce the impact of financial exclusion on poor health outcomes and diet.
• £500 grants – for smaller projects that bring communities together over the medium of food. This could include a wide range of free opportunities for people to learn about, share and enjoy healthy and sustainable food – e.g. through talks, challenges and competitions, demonstrations, intercultural and intergenerational events, food festivals and town meals.

Please note that you can only apply for one grant and you will need to declare which grant you are applying for in the application.
