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

Thank you Preston Rotary Club

Only 4 days after launching their appeal fund on 3rd April, Preston Rotary Club have made their first donation of £1000 to a local charity - and they chose us - Paignton Community Larder.  We are so pleased to have been chosen as their first beneficiaries said Anita.

We are grateful to have the support of a number of local groups. Preston and Paignton Rotary Clubs have been great supporters since we launched the Larder iin Decemeber 2017.  No one could ever have imagined the increase in referrals we have seen recently - 300% up on a year ago and climbing - and somehow they manage to keep coming up trumps.  I know thet have had to launch an appeal to the general public for cash as supporta number of local charities and details of this can be found on their website at www.preston.rotary1175.org. thanks Rotary.
