Our stakeholders are individuals and community growing groups across the city of Exeter as well as a residential community for adults with learning disabilities just outside of Exeter who supported out tomato seedling distribution. Audiences are invited to give feedback at all of our events/workshops Our continuity with using Exeter Phoenix as a space and the time of the week (Sunday) has when we conduct many of our activities has led to a very good attendance at all our workshop events there. We had over 40 individuals and community growing groups involved in growing heritage tomatoes for our Tomato Festival. We participate in other events to talk about our aims and hear what people have to say about our work. We worked with funders to meet the aims of their grant criteria as well as with Exeter City Council, also one of our funders.
