Community Larder
You can now make an additional £3 donation to your order and we’ll use it to stock our Community Larder. This means we can keep our shelves full of free food and those who need it most can help themselves with no questions asked.
Let our staff know at checkout and they’ll add £3 to your bill, or you can now pay the £3 forward, online, via the link below.
On 7 November 2022 we opened our Community Larder to help people to make ends meet and in recognition of the cost-of-living crisis that’s affecting so many people throughout the UK and building on the popularity of our free lunches for children over half term.
A Community Larder is a resource that stocks donated food to afford people a little more dignity in choosing what they want to eat. There are no terms, no sign ups, no qualifying factors, operating and thriving on the kindness of neighbours and visitors to help stock the shelves. It’s open and available to everyone and anyone, simply take what you need, or give what you can.
In a recent study by The Bevan Foundation, it was reported that families are struggling to make ends meet – with more than one in eight Welsh households (13%) either sometimes or often struggling to afford everyday items.
Our Community Larder is a small way to help supplement what can’t be afforded, rather than replacing what can be afforded; and as such we’ll be supporting the Community Larder with regular donations. We encourage those in our community who can afford to, to support our new initiative with donations of in-date non-perishable food. The Community Larder is not staffed but will be managed by our friendly Visitor Services team, who have been spearheading this initiative.
