Dear Supporter,

At The Larder, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to thrive, not just survive. Our mission is powerful yet deeply human: to tackle poverty and empower individuals through skills and training, while building stronger, more connected communities.

Every day, we see how food is more than sustenance, it's connection, belonging and a cornerstone of living with dignity. Through our Catalyst Kitchen project and life-changing training programmes, we provide the tools and nourishment people need to rebuild their lives. A warm meal can ease immediate hunger, but the skills we offer open doors to brighter futures, breaking the cycle of poverty for good. Every person we support has a story, and at the heart of that story is the desire to grow and make positive change.

But this mission is impossible without you.

In the past year, with the support of people like you, we have:

  • Equipped over 500 individuals with new skills that have led to positive change in their lives and new directions.
  • Built spaced where communities can flourish - bringing people together through our cafes and training hubs.
  • Fostered a culture of dignity and opportunity, breaking the cycle of poverty for families in need.

Yet, the need for our services continues to grow. There are countless others waiting for their chance to shine. That's where you come in.

"Every contribution helps us serve dignity alongside opportunity for those who need it most."

Your generosity fuels life-changing initiatives like:

  • Training programmes that give individuals the confidence and tools to achieve employment and financial independence.
  • Catalyst Kitchen project that provides food with dignity through our community shops and community meals.
  • CashBack: Community Connections project supports young people to prevent and reduce offending and help them envision and pursue brighter futures.

When you donate to The Larder, you're not just giving to a cause, you're investing in the future of someone who might one day mentor others, start a business, or create their own positive impact in our shared community.

This is your chance to be part of a movement that uplifts and transforms lives, creating lasting change. Whether it's through a on-time donation, a regular contribution, or sharing our story with others, your support makes all the difference.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Angela Moohan
