Strengthening communication and collaboration between organisations and groups involved in community food growing, and greenspace improvements, across North Edinburgh.
Description
Several local organisations that support community food growing, and greenspace improvements are already meeting regularly to discuss: collaboration opportunities, ways to support eachother practically, and a strategic long-term view of community food growing and broader greenspace and public realm improvements and management in North Edinburgh. There is an opportunity to build on existing good work to support the further development of a local food economy. There is also a need for local community organisations to have greater capacity to participate in and lead greenspace and public realm improvements across North Edinburgh. By working together collaboratively we are better able to respond to needs and opportunities.
This funding will enable some network coordination support, as well as providing some resources for improved shared communication/publicity, and some shared budget for practical resources (such as tools, seeds, compost etc).
This project will promote partnership working and collaboration between groups and organisations. This will lead to improved local support for communities by helping create more opportunities for new people to get involved in community food growing and greenspace improvement.
Location: This will involve work across North Edinburgh.
Proposed on behalf of: Growing and Greenspaces Group (includes Granton Castle Walled Garden, Freshstart, Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre, Pilton Youth and Childrens Project, and more)
