An exciting opportunity to create and fund inspirational projects in your local community
Lache Larder - keeping people warm & fed has reached 30% of its target!2 years ago
We are a resident-run social supermarket in Lache and we want to ensure that throughout the cost-of-living crisis we can continue to divert food from landfill and use it to feed bellies not bins!
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
We are a resident-run social supermarket in Lache. We collect surplus food from local supermarkets and divert it to local residents. We have been running since 2019 and, with the current cost of living crisis, it is more important than ever that we continue to provide this service. This winter we would also like to be able to open our doors as a warm bank and provide a warm and welcoming space for Lache residents who are struggling to keep their homes warm. We are asking for financial donations to enable us to do this.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This project speaks for itself - why throw good food away when it can be used to feed people? We provide healthy, affordable and accessible food in a warm and welcoming space to the residents of Lache.

Volunteer
We are a community led grassroots organisation, run entirely by
residents on a voluntary basis, dealing with the two issues of food
poverty and food waste. We are a group of six residents from the
Lache community who came together in 2018 because we wanted
to make changes in our neighbourhood. Our main focus is a social supermarket ‘the Larder’ where we redistribute surplus food, donated by supermarkets such as Waitrose, Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi, on a pay as you feel basis. We have been running affordable food sessions, starting in 2019 once a week in our community centre and progressing to twice a week in our own premises. We have refurbished a local shop in Lache where we are now able to open on our own schedule. So far we have been following Covid-19 guidelines, ensuring social distancing and limiting customers, but eventually the shop will also provide a social space, serve tea and toast, signpost to other organisations etc in the hope that this will prevent social isolation and provide a means of early intervention. The Larder is open to all but attracts mainly people that live on the Lache estate in Chester. Everyone who visits says that they benefit from the affordable, accessible, fresh, healthy produce on offer as well as feeling a sense of pride that such a project exists in their community, run by their friends and neighbours.
