Broadwindsor Group Parish Council is delighted to announce that a new pop up food club will launch in Broadwindsor on Friday 23 June, in the parking area at Comrades Hall between 9.30 am and 10.30 am.

The ‘Food Larder’ is a community larder run by FareShare – the UK’s largest food redistribution charity and local volunteers. It is a membership scheme aimed at helping people make their money go further by reducing food shopping bills. Membership depends on household size, with weekly subscription costs being:

• £2.50 per week for a single person – 10 products plus fruit and vegetables
• £3.50 per week for a 2 person plus household – 15 products plus fruit and vegetables
• £5.00 per week for a 4 person plus household – 25 products plus fruit and vegetables

FareShare obtain surplus food from supermarkets. Your bag will be prepared, in advance, and will offer a variety of products. It is estimated that your bag will hold an average of £10-£15 worth of produce (dependent on household size) A bag can consist of some of these items: pasta, rice, coffee, tea bags, tinned meats, tinned fish, tinned desserts, soups, along with fresh fruit and vegetables. It may also include the odd fridge product such as cheese. (For this, you will need to bring with you an insulated cool bag)

A membership form needs to be completed and proof of address/ID needs to be provided, unless a recognised referral agent refers you to the scheme. Application forms need to be requested by emailing: FSSouthernCentral@fareshare.org.uk and should be returned to this email address

Or you can complete a form on line:

Members are required to keep up weekly membership by attending the Larder on a weekly basis and paying their membership fee. Failure to attend for three consecutive weeks will mean that your membership will be offered to someone on the waiting list. In line with GDPR your details will be kept by FareShare, and will not be shared with any other 3rd party.

In addition, we are now recruiting volunteers to help with the Food Larder, full training will be provided.
