LYN (Love Your Neighbour) are our community food boxes. We have one by Newcourt Community Centre and one within the grounds of Trinity Primary School. Some of the surplus food we receive from Neighbourly supermarkets (Aldi, Lidl and M&S) goes in to the boxes for members of the community to help themselves to in order to minimise food waste and in turn helping members of our community where they need it, for whatever reason. We have had great feedback from local residents and the school LYN is proving particularly popular for those bits that busy parents have run out of time or forgotten to get but can conveniently grab on the school run.
