Mission
With the aim to reduce food waste and provide a low cost source of food to people with limited budgets. ex Cllr Jacqui Sewell & Cllr Yvonne White started our FareShare Food Larder in June last year. The initiative is funded by the NHS and Dorset Council
Soon they were joined by ex Cllr Chubb, Cllr’s Roberts and Miller – to put it simply we are distributing surplus food, that would have been destroyed, to local people at very low cost. We have a fabulous team of volunteers who support the larder each week with administration, putting up tables and assembly of the food crates & clearing everything away when we’re finished.
60 - 70 residents are benefiting from the scheme every week, this surplus food is nutritious and good to eat, produce varies every week, usually including as a
minimum, fresh fruit and vegetables, a source of protein and store cupboard items.

Community Advice & Help
The Food Larder days are also being used as an opportunity to provide information on the advice, help and support available from other agencies including Citizens Advice, Social Prescribing and Live Well Dorset on a rolling programme. The sessions are open to all parishioners.
