The Lammermuir Larder Group
We're a local community food initiative based in Haddington, East Lothian. Established in 2021, our goal is to build a more resilient community through addressing the inequalities in our local area.
Our emergency food initiative together with our advocacy and advice service are a lifeline for people in crisis, providing a holistic approach to support those in challenging situations. By addressing the root causes of food insecurity and providing tailored support, we help individuals and families get back on their feet and build a more sustainable future. Later this year we're launching our Let's Cook initiative and in June we launched our Community Shop, designed to support those on low incomes helping them to stretch their food budgets whilst at the same time alleviating food waste.
We couldn't do what we do without our team of dedicated volunteers. They bring a huge amount of life experience and skills to the Larder ensuring our clients are always treated with dignity and respect.
