The programme, funded by the Manjit Wolstenholme Fund, will provide four primary schools in Bradford with access to the Supported Growbag Toolkit. This toolkit is designed to assist schools in establishing and maintaining food growing activities, encouraging hands-on learning and engagement with growing food.

Benefits for participating schools

Schools interested in applying for this programme are encouraged to seek further information and submit their applications promptly, as places are limited to four schools.
