The Larder is here to reduce food waste and create a community hub. It is based on a model developed by SOFEA whose work transforms people’s lives by giving young people a purpose and by providing the support they need to flourish. Find out more about SOFEA here.

Here are a couple of examples of an individual membership collection:
