Local volunteering opportunities

Thakeham community fridge
Help reduce food waste by making use of produce that would have been heading for the bin because it is too close to its sell by date, the packaging might be slightly damaged or the supermarket has surplus stock! Look out for posts on the Thakeham Community Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/ thakehamparish
