02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We run a community larder stocked almost entirely from donations from supermarkets and individuals and from surplus foodstuffs delivered by FareShare. We have a small award-winning organic community garden and our extra room is used by the local Youth club and by other organisations giving something back to the town. We collect from 5 supermarkets each week and have two deliveries from FareShare and currently we save circa 200kg of produce a week which is the equivalent of 10 tons per year. Any food not given out free at our 4 sessions a week is normally fed into our hotbin or compost bins to feed the garden or given to locals who have chickens or other livestock. We have upgraded the lighting and heating in our building to be energy efficient and have solar panels and a battery to ensure we reduce our carbon footprint and we have various recycling points on site for the community.
