Working with local business

We are all connected in the patch we call home. The Incredible Edible values and the the Three Plates is to remind us that we all need to work together if our communities and our societies are to flourish.

From the very simple things of getting local business to sponsor one of your growing spaces – it is great advertising for them – to creating an edible trail around your town or area, this section is about much more than asking for money. Learning how to engage with business – from them supporting your work to helping them redefine their Corporate Social Responsibility strategy and activity – working together with business is good for all of us. They are ordinary people just like the rest of us and as organisations embedded in local communities and employing local people they want to get involved in what is going on; they often need someone to build a bridge so that they can do this. At Incredible Edible we are great listeners and bridge builders.

This section looks at a range of options for engaging with business so that, together with the other organisations in our communities, we can work together to build confident and connected communities. That’s what kindness is about – if you eat, you’re in.
