The Cabinet Members considered a report on the establishment of an Allotment & Community growing grant. As part of Welsh Government’s Allotment Grant, Carmarthenshire County Council had been allocated £35,031 to increase the availability of good quality allotments and community growing areas across Carmarthenshire. The funding related to activity within 25/26 financial year. Additionally, the Authority had also been allocated £25,627 via Welsh Government’s Emergency Food Aid Grant 25/26. The capital funding was targeted at supporting those facing food poverty. By utilising the funding to support community growing, the fund would enable local people to access healthy food whilst also developing new skills. It was confirmed that applications would have to be made by formally constituted groups or organisations.
