Funding

Until 2018 we distributed around £80,000 each year through our annual development fund which ran in the summer.  Funding has also been available through our capacity building fund and other smaller funding opportunities. Our thanks go to all those community initiatives that have achieved so much with so little over the years.

Our plan for 2024/2025

CFHS is currently working with the Scottish Government, community food networks and our colleagues in Public Health Scotland to plan how the community food sector can be supported in the future.
