A Container and Voluntary Time to set up please We urgently need a container sited outside of the hall - this will offer local people accessing the Community Larder more privacy and dignity. We also hope that it encourages others living in food poverty to access this vital service. Currently, we have the fridge/freezer in the main hall and the larder in a large cupboard area also in the main hall, access is managed around when the hall is not in use. The container we require to have electricity for fridges and Freezers and lighting/heating. We will also require purpose-built shelving for food items and things like school uniforms/Halloween kids' recycling clothing rail as we will make it a multi-use facility.

We would like a water supply at the garden in the form of a standpipe. We gather rain water which provides enough water to service the garden. We are in the process of adopting the towns flower planters with community groups and organisations for which we need to access water. There was previously a building on the garden site and hope there is a water pipe present. We would be most grateful if a company could find a supply and install a standpipe within our garden.
