A community larder has opened in Cuckfield to help support local residents and families who might be struggling with the rise in food costs. Helen Holman, who lives in the village, is the brains behind the kind venture: “My aim is to help everyone in the community who might need a little bit of help. Items in the larder have been donated by local people and the larder is there to support the residents who live here so they can come along and take what they need and leave what they can.
”The larder accepts all non-perishable items and even items that might have been partially used, because it might just be what someone is looking for and one less thing that is not wasted that day. People can also put books in and take them out if they see something worth reading and return it at a later date.”

Helen is also hoping that local businesses might consider getting involved and donating any items that they would otherwise throw away at the end of the day and try to limit waste where possible.

If you would like to find out how you can get involved or if you or your family are in need of a little help please search for the Facebook page or you can email Helen direct: littlefreelarderandlibrary@gmail.com.

Find the larder in the front garden of 10 Brainsmead, Cuckfield, RH17 5EY.
