The Haven
Today was Graduation day for Haven Helper Georgia. Today was Graduation day for Haven Helper Georgia. 

Georgia has volunteered at the Larder since the beginning and chose to write her dissertation on the Haven Community Larder - “Food for thought: what can a local Community Food Larder teach us about food (in)security, (re)distribution, and Community Resilience?’. Georgia interviewed 19 people as research for her dissertation. 

Today Georgia graduated with a First Class Honours in Sociology and also achieved the most successful student in Sociology award. 

Congratulations Georgia. Everyone at the Haven is very proud of you.

As part of our Future Healthy Choices Project our vegetable of the week has been Kholrabi. 

We completed a snap survey to see what fruit and vegetables people would like to try but as a result of the generosity of some gardeners we have also had kale, tree spinach, mallow, arrow lettuce, strawberries and rhubarb for Larder visitors too this week. 

Take what you need, give what you can.

We get so many women seeking, enquirying and askin We get so many women seeking, enquirying and asking for The Haven to have a Women's Circle. 

We are delighted to have Embodied Therapy - Aberdeen to offer the first circle this Sunday evening. This is on a donation basis with all funds raised going to support the Community Food Larder.

This is a perfect opportunity for anyone curious to experience what a Women's Circle is like to come and try.

Please can you help us spread the word so those who want to come along know. It is so important, even more so "post" Covid, that we support and show up for the things we are seeking in our community.

We enter this new chapter that encompasses all the ways our community and organisation have grown and evolved through challenging times together.

Look at this incredible shoe bench that Stonehaven Look at this incredible shoe bench that Stonehaven Men's Shed made for our wellbeing space 🙌

We dragged it into the yoga studio so you could behold it in all glory.

It is usually in the hallway as our studio space is shoe free. For the past 5 years we have struggled to find a safe, suitable show bench for young children, pregnant women and the less physically able to be able to put their shoes on.

We really appreciate it and always admire the work the Men do for our community from their sacred space 🙏♥️

Recently Heid Haven Helper Julie did some outreach work at Arduthie Primary as part of their well-being week. As a well-being organisation we promote all elements of health and food is a key part of maintaining good physical and mental health. It was four sessions with a variety of age groups. It was lovely to see thank you cards had arrived at the Larder on Thursday. They are now hanging up in the Larder and look beautiful. At the Haven we are very proud of the work we do in the community and we look forward to visiting Arduthie again.

"I loved the snacks that you gave us, I especially loved the strawberry and apple."

Our vision is for flourishing communities where ev Our vision is for flourishing communities where everyone feels supported, included and belongs - and that includes on the yoga mat!

Our intention for community yoga is to offer a safe welcoming space where people can come together to prioritise their wellbeing.

If you ever felt:

You can't do yoga

Don't know what yoga is

Can not afford yoga

Would be too anxious to try

Do not have a "yoga body"

Don't think you could be bothered

Then THIS is the opportunity for you.

This is a FREE event although we welcome a donation for our community larder if able and willing. We always need tinned meals, coffee, jam, jelly, honey & sugar as we often do not get those items through other food partnerships. If you also have any nappies, baby food or formula no longer required we welcome that too.

This is funded by the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing fund through Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action and The Scottish Government
