We had a wonderful visit to Elm Tree Court Care Home today, where we are proud to be their chosen charity.
 
We enjoyed a lovely coffee morning and shared the important work we do within the community.
Their support means so much to us, and we’re excited to see the various fundraisers they will be organising throughout the next year.
 
Thank you, Elm Tree Court, for your kindness and dedication!
Attention all Warhammer fans, don’t forget that we will be having a Warhammer 40k tournament on the 14th of June at Cromwells Huntingdon. Thank you so much to them for allowing us to have the event there.

Thank you so much to those that nominated me for this award – The Mayors Shield. It was a privilege to be nominated, so thank you very much and to Audrey Mcadam – the now retired Mayor of Huntingdon! ♥️
You were a wonderful mayor and an asset to our town. Enjoy your well deserved time off.

This was a truly unforgettable day as I had the incredible honour of receiving my MBE medal from The Princess Royal! Being recognised in this way is a profound privilege, and I am truly grateful for this unforgettable moment.

Allotment Update!

 
We are making steady progress at our allotment! Can you spare any time in the week and can maybe offer some support to get our community garden flourishing! 
This BRAND NEW project will enable residents on referral to grow their own food, promoting healthier eating habits and reducing food costs.
By growing their own produce, residents can improve their diets with fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, directly impacting public health.
The use of sustainable farming practices in these allotments can significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with food production. This project encourages composting, water conservation, and the use of organic pest control, contributing to biodiversity and a healthier local ecosystem.
Together we can cultivate a healthier, more self-reliant, and environmentally conscious community.

May

Just like many others, May was hugely successful in terms of the support we could offer and the people we managed to help.

We supplied 1,428 meals to people through our food hampers across the wider community.

We have rescued 8.5 tonnes of food waste, which has generated approximately 20,145 meals! This is through our redirected waste in our Pantry store!

We saved a whopping 14,450kg (PPM) of Co2!

We prevented a whopping £6,800 worth of food from rotting in landfill!

We have helped 8 families improve their situations, by finding longer term solutions to shape brighter and more sustainable futures.

We continue to help eliminate the need for food aid and strive to live in a world where EVERYONE can afford to shop and live independent
