funding for community lunch/supper clubs in Burnley

We recognise that Lunch Clubs play an essential role in tackling social isolation and can help reduce malnutrition and food insecurity. We are therefore making up to £1000 available to Lunch Clubs in Burnley. Funding should be spent by the end of March 2025.
 
This is a one-off fund for not for profit voluntary and community groups, to help communities initiate projects and support pilot schemes responding to the Cost of Living Crisis around community lunch or supper clubs

This programme is about improving the resilience of the community as a whole, promoting equality. Lunch clubs could be any food related project that will support a warm space or restarts a lunch club. We will particularly encourage non stigmatizing and intergenerational ideas.

We would also like to hear from individuals or small un-constituted groups with a great idea. Private businesses, sole traders or statutory organisations are not eligible.
