Funders & Supporters

The Kindling Trust is supported by a number of organisations and funders who have aided different aspects of our development or specific projects:

Awards for All

Awards for All is a Big Lottery grant scheme and provided Kindling with a grant of just under £10,000 for a number of community-engagement projects. This support enabled amongst other things the Global Crisis: Organic Response debate; a 2009 food heritage calendar with St. Margaret's Primary; and the FeedingManchester conference.

C-Change

C-Change (an advice & training program) from The Co-operative Group have provided free expert support to develop our business plan from Co-operative Mutual Solutions.

Local Food Fund

Kindling was one of the first projects to secure Local Food Fund support for its seasonal food calender: The Time is Ripe.
