I'm trying to locate capital funding grants I've just had two disappointments with capital funding 

we are a newly created CIC in June of this year with the aim to raise or try to find capital funding to secure for a farm project that will help out 3 different groups from x service personnel older adults from 60 through to 85 plus that feel that they don't have a useful purpose in life which they will be encouraged to get involved and adults with learning disabilities which would also cover physical disability as well the project will give them an opportunity to get involved on a small working farm either having a go at gardening with above-ground planters and polytunnels along with hands-on experience of milking a few jersey cows from that to create a soap and a cheese and seeing each stage through to marketing this There would be a number of other activity that would be available to the clients there will be a small large animal sanctuary onsite with some reduced donkeys and the clients will have the option of spending time with the animals to improve their health and working with any animal has been proven to help. There will also be craft opportunities plus looking at the improvement to the natural habit around the farm wildlife bees that are all in decline unfortunately we have had our second knockback and although I have spoken to a wide variety of people and organizations who think it is a worthy project as there is nothing like this in the whole of Dorset we had our second rejection for capital grant and I know we are competing with lots of other organisations but as you can tell am extremely passionate about getting this from words on a piece of paper to become reality I've spent 34 years as a female farmer of those 25 years running my own livestock business 

so I'm swimming but I think I need a tow rope to guide my in the right direction to find these capital funding sites any help would be gratefully received Director/Trustee of Merry Moos Pierrette Langdown
