The Greggs Foundation is a grant making charity which improves the quality of life in local communities, distributing around £3 million per year to charitable organisations throughout England, Scotland and Wales. We were lucky enough to be awarded with £900 which we were able to buy a new fridge freezer and Freezer so we now have more capacity to store and keep our fresh ingredients fresher for longer so less waste.

We are pleased to announce that we have been chosen as one of co-ops local causes. If you are already a member and would like to join and support us at

Preston Rotary Club have presented Paignton Community Larder with a cheque for £450

The money was raised from  donations from the Rotary club members and from part of the proceeds from a very successful  Charity golf day at Dainton Golf Club.

Yvonne Childs, the President of Preston Rotary Club, explained that once a month their club members  bring along  various tinned food, packets, and jars  to their club meeting for onward donation  to the Larder and in that time they  have presented over 800 items of food.  The Club have recently added an option for members to donate cash which the Larder then use to help replenish their stock.

Preston Rotary together with Paignton Rotary Club also help out with deliveries of food parcels to those people deemed to be in crisis and who can’t get to the foodbank.

We are extremely grateful for the huge support we receive from Rotary who want to help those in difficult.
