Description
The Food & Drink Fund, administered by Suffolk Community Foundation, provides grants to voluntary, community, and social enterprise groups—including parish councils—working across Suffolk to tackle food poverty, poor nutrition, and unhealthy eating habits. The fund prioritises projects that empower children, young people, and vulnerable groups through educational initiatives such as teaching cooking skills, nutrition, and meal planning. It also aims to promote a positive food culture and address diet-related health issues at the community level. Grassroots organisations and foodbanks are especially encouraged to apply, with a focus on projects that deliver sustained impact rather than one-off events.
