The Haven
We have grown and changed so much during the pande We have grown and changed so much during the pandemic - just like everyone else! Since our community had inevitably changed with the times, we have transformed to respond to that change. We took some time earlier in the year to reflect on our vision and what we wished for our community and we wanted to share it with you. We wanted to share our vision with you.

Our new larder membership bags have arrived! Julia Our new larder membership bags have arrived! Julia will be on hand to exchange the original bags with the new ones this week. At The Haven we do not shy away from a challenge - one of our values is being COURAGEOUS: choose courage over comfort. But trying to source 500 ethically and environmentally sourced bags available in Britain during Brexit AND a pandemic had us stumped. Thankfully there is Twitter! We called out for help and Where Does It Come From? answered our plea. Although our membership has been an unmitigated success there was a manufacturing fault with the bags. So we now think of these as our prototypes! And although Brexit, the pandemic, food insecurity and trauma are complex issues fortunately bags for life are simple in comparison. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we sorted it out. And most of all for supporting your community.

Donations are encouraged, but not expected. We use the funds to buy toilet paper, cleaning products and other items we don't get through other partnerships. So if you have a few spare pennies please pop it in the box. We also can take donations by card as well. Larder is open Wednesday 2pm - 3pm

"Well you know where I am if you need me!" AND " "Well you know where I am if you need me!" AND "Call if you need anything."
