  1. Parks Pantry • Community project which support residents in the New Parks area of Leicester City • Began with providing emergency food parcels to those members of the community • in greatest need. • Provides a weekly lunch club and an opportunity to meet others from the community

  2. Parks Pantry Lunch Club • The aim is to recognise and reduce the amount of food that supermarkets throw out by using it to make meals in the community and by giving out food parcels. That means that people on low incomes, who are isolated, or just want to share a meal with friends and neighbours can help, get together and enjoy a freshly cooked lunch.

  3. Lunch Club – So far so good! “Look forward to coming every week, now I’m going to see how I can help”. “Great to get out and chat, the lunch is lovely too”. “Being here you can see the benefits of the project, really enjoyed helping out today”.

  4. It’s the communities! This project was identified by the community, it’s used by the community and it’s supported by the community. Community Volunteers make this project happen! Longer term…………. • Provide learning on how to cook healthy meals on a budget • Ask for ideas about hosting other activities • Sustain and grow the project
