The Lammermuir Larder Group is a local community food initiative based in Haddington, East Lothian. Established in 2021, our goal is to build a more resilient community through addressing the inequalities in our local area. Originally a constituted group, we became a Scottish Incorporated Charitable Organisation in May 2025. Our emergency food provision together with our advocacy service are a lifeline for people in crisis, providing a holistic approach to support those in challenging situations. Our Community Shop is designed to support those on low incomes helping them to stretch their food budgets whilst at the same time alleviating food waste. Our Let’s Cook initiative provides free cookery classes designed to teach participants on limited incomes how to prepare nutritious, low-cost meals. By addressing the root causes of food insecurity and providing tailored support, we help individuals and families get back on their feet and build a more sustainable future. We couldn't do what we do without our team of dedicated volunteers. They bring a huge amount of life experience and skills to the Larder ensuring our clients are always treated with dignity and respect.
