Cutteslowe Community Larder
We are passionate about Shaping a thriving community together with Cutteslowe. One of the ways we do this is through the Cutteslowe Community Larder. Each Wednesday Cutteslowe Connected Church, in partnership with Cutteslowe Community Centre, runs a Community Larder. The food is mainly supplied through SOFEA and the generosity of the local community.
The Cutteslowe Community larder was set up during COVID-19 lock down one. Since that time the Community Larder has evolved from simply providing food to the community into a community hub with a number of aims.
-
Combatting food poverty
-
Reducing food waste
-
Helping build the Cutteslowe Community
-
Practically demonstrating the love of Jesus
To help achieve these aims the larder partners with a number of organizations to deliver wrap around services:
