Katherine Whittaker, North of
England Adviser, Growing Together
It’s been great to work with you in
Manchester and I certainly don’t
think we would have connected
with the groups we did without
your support.
Sow the City and
Growing Together worked
in partnership to help
community food projects
become more sustainable
and less reliant on
external funding.
In 2015, we approached Growing Together to see how
we could work to help support a number of community
groups in Greater Manchester. We wanted to help these
groups become more self-sustainable and less reliant on
grant funding.
Growing Together was a lottery funded project providing
income and inspiration for community growers. Their vision
was for all community growing groups in the UK to have the
skills, knowledge and opportunities needed to become
financially sustainable.
We offered a series of seminars to guide small
to medium community growing groups through the
development of robust business plans. Each session
brought key individuals from up to ten groups together
to share ideas and use action learning techniques to
build business plans specific to their needs.
Since then we have worked with Growing Together to
provide consultancy advice and training for Dutch Farm
in Liverpool, to improve their social media presence
and corporate communications.
