Colne Valley Help (CVH) is a local charity helping to end food poverty and food waste in the Colne Valley. We aims to make a difference to the well-being of children and young people, families and individuals living in the Colne Valley.
We do this by helping people to access affordable food and other essential items and by providing information and signposting to other support services.
We run two Community Food Share Schemes in the Colne Valley. These provide pantry staples such as food and toiletries that have been donated or is surplus supermarket stock saved from going to landfill. The two schemes are in Slaithwaite Civic Hall and the Golcar Drop By Centre.
We create opportunities for volunteering both at the Community Food Share Schemes and at special times of year such as Christmas when we give a extra support to local families struggling with the cost of living.
