GoGro CIC is a not-for-profit, Community Interest Company, based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire and we have been operating since April 2022. Founded by Rob Hewis and Eamonn Hunt, we came together during the Covid pandemic because of the work we had both done to support local communities - we created GoGro CIC and quickly realised during our first project ‘Cook, Learn, Grow’, that teaching people how to cook did so much more than help them to with their cooking skills: it helped improve their independence, mental health, physical health; it helped to reduce social isolation and anxieties…we became determined to develop more creative food-based initiatives, and we are continuing to develop, you can see our projects past and present by clicking here!
We have been utilising grant funds to help us to deliver projects across Lincolnshire, click on our partners page to see some of the funders and organisations we have worked with so far. We are now using everything we have learned over the last couple of years to help us to develop new and exciting ways to fund the community work we do so if you want to keep abreast of what we’re doing follow us on social media or contact us directly!
