£1 Million Programme to Support Black-led Food & Drink Businesses Seeking to Grow (UK)

A new £1 million programme has been launched aimed at supporting Black-led food and drink businesses seeking to grow in the UK. The 16-week incubator programme will give start-up brands access to quality support and services to which they ordinarily would not have access to.

The programme will provide a £20,000 welcome grant to nine successful applicants as well as 1:1 support and group learning activities to help them grow and scale-up a new product that could appeal to supermarket customers. There will be additional funding available at various stages, up to the value of £105,000 per brand.

The funding is made available through Thrive with Sainsburys which closes to applications on the 16th August 2022.
