Boo, no where in Scotland. If GO ever want to start up in Glasgow my kitchen is available for peeps to pile in, plenty of room plus plenty of coffee and cake

We want to start up in all areas - it's funding that is needed to start up programmes.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Just remember Zaz, coffee and cake . Aye, the old sticking point - funding

[Incy]

Shame, nothing here either. Would have loved to do that.

[SarzWix]

Where would funding usually come from? I'd love to do it here as well, who could/should I pester to fund it?

[WendyC]

Not near me either, unless you count London (which I don't)

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Sarz, you must be a mind reader. I have been thinking who has deep pockets.

Local Food funded the pilots then it's Councils or NHS usually - those tasked with improving food growing.

[Two_Sheds]

I'll look into that, thanks for posting

[piskieinboots]

HW and I would love to apply for setting up a Beds MGP ... wouldn't we HW

[BarleySugar]

Pleased to see one in Medway/North Kent, which is quite near to me.

[vegnut]

None near me. That just about sums this area up though, mostly forgotten about unfortunately.
Wenever know what the future holds though, i'll just keep hoping.
