COOKING lessons for adults and children, and a long-running soup project, are among the initiatives benefiting from a near-£100,000 boost.
Dunbar’s community-owned greengrocer, the Crunchy Carrot, has secured funding which will enable it to carry on a number of schemes over the next three years.
The money from The National Lottery Community Fund, totalling £91,800, will be used to fund three years’ work on community food and sustainability projects.
Schemes include cooking lessons for adults and children, a weekly community meal, the continuation of the long-running Sunny Soups food waste project, and KidsFoodJourney, a food club for primary school-aged children.
