Community larders are back up and running!

They are situated in the phone boxes at Gorthleck, Errogie and Lower Foyers along with the bus stops at Whitebridge and Upper Foyers.

Thank you to the volunteers that are keeping them stocked. We have also started a service for households who are struggling to make ends meet. We will deliver an emergency food box if you can not get to one of the food larders. The process is simple; you just tick the items you need. This ensures you receive only the food and household goods that will be used.

If you would like to receive a box, please email: email.sfcc@aol.com or call 07375 605743. All requests dealt with in the strictest confidence.

Ladies Wot Cook

The ‘Ladies Wot Cook’ are continuing to offer excellent home cooked meals for a donation towards the cost. This service is available to all in the Community every Tuesday and the meals are collected at 11am from the Foyers Stores. Please call 01456 486233 to book.

The ladies that run the ‘Broth and Blether’ are starting a 'Soup to Go' service once a week from Monday 15th March. Soup (plus bread and cake!) can be collected from Wildside between 12 - 1.30pm but must be ordered before 6pm on the Sunday evening. Please call Pam Simpson on 01456 486364 or Lyn Woods on 01456 486786. They will try to accomodate all dietery requirements and strict Covid rules will be in place. If you cannot make it to collect your soup, there are some volunteer drivers that can deliver if required.

This is available to anyone in the Community and is free of charge due to funding from HIE.
