The Worshipful Company of Cooks is offering funding for local charities and voluntary groups running community food or cooking projects. Projects must have a connection with the City of London or be located in neighbouring City fringe boroughs. Set up in commemoration of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, The Elizabeth Fund offers small one-off grants of up to £1,000 to deserving projects or good causes that are related to food and cooking. With a preference for ‘start-up’ ventures, this funding is often given at short notice to encourage small, local charitable enterprises by helping to create a positive, short-term impact. The cost of personal cooking equipment (e.g. cooks’ whites or knives) will be considered on an exceptional basis. Applications can be submitted at any time.
