We are now collecting from local Co-op on Wednesda We are now collecting from local Co-op on Wednesdays - that means EVERY weekday we will be saving beautiful fresh produce in our community from being unceremoniously chucked out. Thank you to our new Wednesday Haven Helper for making this possible! Currently we have 6 volunteers who collectively give up 12 hours of their time weekly to bring all the food to the larder. It is a hard thankless lug of a task but vitally important for the viability of the larder.
Q. What do these larder items all have in common? Q. What do these larder items all have in common? A. They're all surplus items which could have ended up going to waste. We'll gratefully accept all sorts of donations in the larder - e.g. no longer needed puppy training pads and outgrown nappies, surplus homegrown produce and pet food which is not to your pet's taste. Let's work together to reduce waste and fill our larder shelves!
Thanks to Aberdeenshire Council for the Trauma In Thanks to Aberdeenshire Council for the Trauma Informed Event this afternoon. What reasonated most was how many times "trust must be earned" was said. Thanks for the graceful facilitation and powerful presentation from Tackling Poverty & Inequalities Aberdeenshire
At The Haven we take food waste in our community s At The Haven we take food waste in our community seriously and have an action plan, based on our 18 months experience. We have taken inspiration from creative community problem solving to reduce, reuse and recycle. Some of these strategies include: Daily collections from Co-op @coopuk Soft plastic recycling at the Coop Support from Aberdeenshire Council recycling Local businesses such as @replenishstonehaven Replenish Westerton Farmers @westertonfarmers Sillyflatt Fare, Flowers and Gatherings As our Community Larder Bags say....Be the Change you want to See. Thank you to our engaged Board Secretary for putting it in a clear infograph.

We do near daily collections to all four of our lo We do near daily collections to all four of our local Co-op . I can't tell you how many times when there is nothing to give us, or very little, the staff themselves donate food they have bought. When there are food distribution issues it is vulnerable people who are affected first.
Larder is open Friday 5pm - 7pm. Did you know the Larder is open Friday 5pm - 7pm. Did you know these little bookmarks we hand out are also stickers? So you can always remember when we are open.
We literally can't get enough of these photos shar We literally can't get enough of these photos shared on our Roots to Resilience Facebook group. Renee's childminding received seeds from our project thanks to One Seed Forward and this is what she shared "The children have planted, watered, picked and cleaned and now helping me cook for tea. They will all take some home to share with their families too." Maybe one day they will be the next Haven Harvesters?

Larder is open 10am - 12pm today. Look at this st Larder is open 10am - 12pm today. Look at this stunning flower bouquet made by one of our Haven Helper's for the larder. The centre piece is a leek flower with some copper beech. We still say dignity is in the details and try to always have flowers in the larder. But with Coop collections low we haven't had any for awhile. The depth of talent, thoughtfulness and generosity of our volunteers always inspires me. Community spirit in the truest essence of the word.
