Lidl Weymouth

The Nest was set up to provide support for people in our community, particularly by giving people in need access to healthy and affordable food. We also offer volunteering opportunities to members of our community who are long-term unemployed, or who have suffered serious mental health issues, to help them get back on their feet. We aim to help people facing poverty of resources, identity and relationships. We run a cafe on our Westham site to enable people to meet, make new friends and enjoy good quality meals at an unbelievably good price. Our main aims are tackling hunger within Weymouth, reducing food waste and aiding members of our community in improving their skills and employability.

We are located in St Johns Church Hall, Ventnor Lane, Portland. The Foodbank is a registered UK charity.

We are a generic service for older people, people with a learning/physical disability. We work towards independent living skills, exercise and promoting healthy eating. As a result of healthy meals, exercise this supports weight loss or even weight gain if required through Pan Dorset Malnutrition Programme. This also provides an understanding of the positive impact of losing weight and making healthy choices has on their lives. This is achieved with partnership working at home, through families, carers and Weymouth Connect.
