The ‘Building Community Food Resilience’ project is a Lottery funded training program run by FoodFutures North Lancashire in collaboration with The Plot - a market garden and FarmStart training centre, and ClaverHill community food project, a 6 acre site which hosts a range of growing projects.

The programme includes 11 half-day in-person workshops, targeted at groups/individuals who are interested in sustainable land management and food production, and those that are part of communities who want to set up local shared growing spaces. The programme will cover:

1. site design and planning for climate resilient community growing spaces, including rain water harvesting and natural flood management

2. project design and organisational models
