ALDI LOUGHBOROUGH - ALLENDALE RD

We are a local community group with the primary aim of reaching out to help people who are most in need. We receive food surplus from supermarkets within the area and provide for people and families who are going through financial difficulties and struggles within our community. Our work is making a real impact in people's lives and offers valuable support where it is needed most by ensuring people have food at their table. I believe that through the simple act of giving we can overcome many problems we can face in life whilst helping others in our neighbourhood through difficult times. Charity is held to be the ultimate perfection of the human spirit, because it is said to both glorify and reflect the nature of God. ... Charity has two parts: love of God and love of man, which includes both love of one's neighbour and one's self. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul places the greater emphasis on charity (Love).As a community group this is what we endeavour to achieve. Objectives The object of Springwater community group is to carry on activities which benefit the community in particular - Provide Essential Food Supplies: Ensure that struggling families in derby ,burton ,Leicester,Nottingham and surrounding areas receive necessary food supplies, so no one goes hungry due to financial difficulties. - - Reduce Food Waste: Partner with local supermarkets ,Farash and food businesses to collect and distribute food items that are close to their sell-by date but are still safe for consumption, thereby reducing food waste and promoting sustainability. - Foster Community Support: Create a network of volunteers and community members to assist in the collection, sorting, and distribution of food, fostering a spirit of community support and cooperation. - Educate on Food Security: Educate the community on issues related to food security, nutrition, and sustainable practices to empower individuals and families to make informed decisions about their food consumption. - Collaborate for Advocacy: Work collaboratively with local authorities, charitable organisations, and other stakeholders to address the root causes of food insecurity and advocate for policies that support vulnerable populations.

Being part of the Community Fridge Network, our Charnwood Community Fridge is completely a non-profit/voluntary service that is dedicated to reduce food waste and support community resilience. Our Community Fridge is run by volunteers. Unlike conventional food banks, our Community Fridge is open to all, free of charge, and anyone can contribute to, or use food from the fridge. We collect donated food from local supermarkets, other local businesses, producers and private household, preventing waste by making it available to anyone in the Loughborough and surrounding areas. Our project operates from: Shelthorpe Family Help (Previously known as Shelthorpe Children & Family Wellbeing Service - CWFS): Woodthorpe Road, Loughborough, LE11 2NF. Located within the Shelthorpe Family Hub and share the site with Lift Beacon School/nursery, Charnwood Community Fridge has been a source of support for so many more vulnerable families and a meaningful space for people to socialise, reduce isolation and enjoy a sense of community.
