In September 2025 Speaking of Food CIC was delighted to be accepted onto a SSE 9 month support programme for community businesses.
Trading For Good is a five-year project, delivered by the School for Social Entrepreneurs with support from Power to Change and The Dulverton Trust, in partnership with The National Lottery Community Fund – the largest community funder in the UK. Thanks to National Lottery players, almost £5 million has been awarded to provide funding, education and support to more than 650 social entrepreneurs and community businesses across England. The programme will equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to develop and grow projects that tackle social and environmental challenges.
So far there have been meet ups with fellow social enterprises from around the North West, guest speakers that have been through the programme, expert guests on finances and making plans for trading up.
