Increase Your Local Food Sales!
Are you looking to enhance your local food offering? Would you like to source more local suppliers? The Plunkett Foundation have a support package to help your shop do exactly this. The Look for Local Scheme is part of Making Local Food Work (a 5 year project managed by the Plunkett Foundation) and is free of charge to community-owned shops. It aims to support shops to expand their range of local food, as well raising the profile of the shop and local food and to develop links between local producers and rural shops.
We have completed a successful pilot phase and we are now rolling out the programme to all community-owned shops.
The scheme offers support to shops worth £1000 which includes:
- Up to 3 days 1:1 dedicated adviser support (including display and merchandising sessions)
- The Look for Local Food Guide
- Branded Look for Local Food Point of Sale material
- Marketing support to launch your local food ranges
Participation on the scheme also enables your shop, volunteers and committee members to access other areas of support offered via Making Local Food Work, including specialist enterprise support.
There are limited places available so click here for more details on the scheme and you can also download a registration form today.
