We tested the Too Good To Go app, which allows you to buy surplus goods from local food businesses (at a discount) at the end of the day. Virginia sampled En Root vegan Asian fusion cafe on Clapham Park Road. The food was lovely and she bought an £8 meal for £4! You can also use the app to buy a ‘Magic Bag’ of surplus groceries from supermarkets.

As well as being surplus food heroes, En Root fed local key workers during the lockdown. They are all-round good folk :-)  

South London Makerspace in Herne Hill have been running a brilliant project making PPE for health care workers, key workers and community groups in Lambeth. We met Hannah Tucker McLellan, who has been leading on the project, and collected 200 reusable facemasks that we will be distributing to local groups in the coming weeks. A massive thanks to Makerspace!

Lambeth Summer of Food and Fun programme is Lambeth Council’s project to offer a mix of free, healthy eating and safe, exciting, and fun learning activities for the school holidays. 22 July – 2 September 2020. It all happens in local community hubs across the borough and parents/carers and a programme for SEND children are included. More information here.

These are trying times. At Lambeth Larder, we stand in solidarity with all people suffering racial, social, economic and political injustice, whether in the UK or elsewhere.
We will continue to do our best to support our community. We're here to help local people stay connected and out of financial, mental and physical hardship. Stay well, stay safe, stay strong.
