FareShare Moves To Drimpton This Friday

Broadwindsor’s FareShare Larder will be at Drimpton this Friday and for the foreseeable future at the same times of 9.30 – 10.30am.

The initiative is led by the NHS & Dorset Council, led locally by Councillor Yvonne White & Vice-Chair Jacqui Sewell who were informed by email that the Comrades Hall Management Committee, with Megan Jones new at the Chair, were ‘very supportive’ but want to charge the group £12/session should the Hall be needed in wet weather.

Comments from local residents are saddened, disgusted and outraged.

There is already a list compiled of volunteers who will transfer the food to those in Broadwindsor who genuinely have no transport and are unable to get to Drimpton.

Anyone who lives in the parish area is eligible to become a member of this group. There is a maximum of  50 members. Find out more HERE (Note: the location is now Drimpton Village Hall).

This is a weekly membership scheme* aimed at helping people make their money go further by reducing food shopping bills – so unless a recognised referral agent refers you to the scheme,  you must register to become a member.  Application forms need to be requested by emailing: FSSouthernCentral@fareshare.org.uk.  Once completed, proof of address/ID needs to be provided and you email the completed form to the same email address.  Alternatively, it is a quick and easy process to complete and submit the form online – Click HERE.
