We are delighted to share our first impact report for Manor Park Food Hub. Set up in partnership with The Bread-and-Butter Thing, Cheshire Community Foundation, The Welcome and Cheshire East Family Hub we have created a sustainable, affordable, and hyper local food offer in our Longridge and Shaw Heath neighbourhood. We have consistently served 60-70 households a week with fresh, good quality, nutritious food which would otherwise go to waste. For £8.50 customers receive 3 large bags of fresh fruit and vegetables, store cupboard and fridge items. Membership is free and available to everyone and you don’t have to order every week.
Rebecca Banks, our Community Partnership Manager, said: “We are very proud of the success of this project. The consistent attendance shows that it’s the right fit for our neighbourhood and that local people appreciate the impact it has on their pocket and on the environment. We couldn’t run it without our volunteers and the success relies heavily on their hard work and commitment.”
