Funding and Governance
In April 2023 the Flax Project became a Community Interest Company, Flax Project C.I.C. I will be providing a link to our constitution very soon.
While we move forward to producing a local linen that we can sell, it is crucial that we establish financial sustainability. To that end we have a created a mixed income stream consisting of affordable educational workshops for the general public in all things to do with flax, heritage crafts and textiles and sales of flax and textile related wares. We also seek grant funding for our community offer. This might be free textile workshops for the local community or flax growing projects with specific community groups.
Every sale of a workshop place or successful grant bid goes towards supporting the long-term aims of Flax Project C.I.C.
