We've just published the summer edition of The Directory, which Lambeth Council has kindly funded. We're busy distributing 10,000 copies across the borough. To find a copy, check out your local library, GP surgery, food bank, children's centre, advice centre, job centre, etc.
If you miss this issue, you can download a copy from our homepage.
We also have a page showing Lambeth's food bank opening times in the August issue of Brixton Bugle newspaper.

You can never have too many tote bags! Buy a stylish Lambeth Larder tote bag and help support our work. We will be selling these soon at a location very near you. Watch this space!

I spotted this in Brixton's Marks & Spencer. There's a similar stand in Tesco on Acre Lane. Let us know if you see any others around the borough. Send us a photo and the location and we'll post it here and on our social media. Thanks!

Our blog has been quiet recently, but we’ve been mega-busy. I'm happy to announce that I'm now a Fellow of the School for Social Entrepreneurs! I've just completed the 9-month programme.
It's been so useful, and I'd recommend it to anyone thinking of setting up a not-for-profit business.
Also, in March, Lambeth Larder became a Community Interest Company and we've also taken on a second director, Joe Walsh, of Bonnington Café fame. (More about Joe to follow!)

I'm doing a fellowship with School for Social Entrepreneurs. They're giving me 9 months free business support, which is really helping develop Lambeth Larder. It has a very student-centred, informal and unconventional approach. I've got some really inspiring classmates, plus I get a couple of mentors. I really rate it. Check out if you're thinking of setting up or are running a social business.
