Thursday Raid The Larder

Launched in 2018 and since the cost of living crisis started in 2021 alongside the soaring cost of energy we have expanded this club to include giving out hot meals when our clients come in for food parcels. These meals are available to anyone who comes into the Centre for help, and we give out enough hot food to cover the whole family. Every Thursday from 10:30am till 11:30am
