Dame Sheila McKechnie Award 2007

Wednesday 5 September 2007

The Agency has launched the fourth round of the Dame Sheila McKechnie Award. The awards assist community food initiatives to develop innovative approaches to tackling issues around food inequality. Two initiatives will be chosen annually for awards of £15,000 each, over three years.

Applications for the 2007 award must be received no later than 6 December 2007.

A shortlist of outstanding initiatives will then be made and FSA officials will visit these initiatives to gain a further insight into the work that they are doing within their community.

Winners will be announced in March 2008 and funding for the winners will begin in April 2008.
