Feeding the City is a fully funded 12 month programme that will support sustainable food start-ups across all of the UK. Successful applicants will receive bursaries, and have access to business and food expert advice and training throughout 2018. Come to our Idea-Generating Workshop to find out more and explore your ideas.

Our cities are growing and we’re struggling to feed ourselves sustainably. We want to support you to make change! What food problems would you like to solve for your community? Do you play with the idea of starting your social business or already have an idea in mind?

In our Idea-Generating Workshop you will be supported to develop an idea for your own social business, get to know others working in similar areas and have a chance to learn more about Feeding the City.

Using concrete tools, you will be helped to think through important elements of your idea in a structured way and to identify blind spots. Furthermore, you will receive valuable feedback and also learn which criteria are important in the submission. Even those who have no concrete or only a vague idea are welcome.
