larder

A charity that redistributes food to community larders delivered about 15,000 more meals to people in July compared to the same period last year.

It is the fifth year that the larder has organised a "food rescue" mission, with about 500 people taking advantage of last year's event.

The dynamic duo consumed "a week's worth of honey", the trust said, as well as jam and other supplies - prompting a "sugar rush" and leaving a depleted larder in their wake.

Waste into Wellbeing, which repurposes surplus food in Kendal, Cumbria, will now host a cafe session on Tuesdays alongside its community food larder on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Allen says his team take advantage of being in what he calls the "larder of Lancashire", using local produce from strawberries to brassicas.
