Thank you Adrian and your team Employer Hub at LMC for making such good use of those very large catering sized tins that may otherwise have gone to waste! 🤩

The Eggcup Depot at Chapel Street by the bus station has had to close due to structural problems. All of our Lancaster Eggcup members should have received a text and most of you will have received a phone call over the weekend to arrange for an alternative food club. If you have not received a text it will be because we don't have an up to date phone number for you so please ring 01524 928027 or email [email protected] and we will get back to you to arrange for an alternative food club for you. The two alternative sites are:
St Chads Church Hall Food Club
Torrisholme Road LA1 2RJ nearby to Lancaster Ryelands Primary School, as well as near Torrisholme Road Bridge.
Starting Monday 6th April 2.00pm - 3.30pm and then every Monday
The Gregson Community Centre Food Club
33-35 Moorgate, Lancaster, LA1 3PY
Starting Tuesday 7th April 2pm - 3.30pm and then every Tuesday.

If the above locations or times don't work for you many of the other food clubs in Lancaster have very kindly offered to help out. Please contact us 01524 928027 or email [email protected] and we will arrange a referral for you.

Thank you to all our members, volunteers and Lancaster, Morecambe and Heysham food clubs for support!

Huge thanks to the Lancaster 53rd Scouts for a truly inspiring morning! 🙌 We're thrilled to have worked together to sort through over 20 crates of surplus fruit and veg during your half-term yesterday... please come every week! Fantastic morning yesterday, we discussed how distributing surplus food helps the environment; health and safety in the warehouse, how we work with Cork Road Allotments to compost veg that we can't eat, swede identification and lots more! 53rd Lancaster Scout Page Cork Road Allotment Association FoodFutures: North Lancashire
