Community larders in the north-east have struck up partnerships with the Co-op which will see their patrons enjoy fresh produce that would have otherwise been bound for the waste bin.
The Haven in Stonehaven has joined forces with the stores in Market Square and David Street as part of the Co-op’s Food Share initiative.
Also benefiting from the scheme are the Community Pantry in Brechin and the Mearns Larder in Laurencekirk.
