We have been open 6 months and due to no storage at our venue, plus a contract that says no food left overnight in the venue except frozen means we have now outgrown our present venue, a room in a Community Hub, and we have to turn down food donations because we have nowhere to store it.
We get donations of frozen , chilled and ambient food but never tinned or dry foods. We are supplied via Fareshare & Neighbourly but we are really struggling, mainly due to storage at the venue, to get donations of tinned & dry goods.
Please can anyone help tell me how to access these donations?
Other advise I am seeking is HOW do we access charity retail space at peppercorn rents.? I have written to our local council and they have offered us retail space for £5000-£15000 pa rental. Our funding is zero unless we raise it ourselves....usual jumble sales, craft fairs, sleep out etc.
Thank you in advance for reading this and helping if you can.
Best wishes, Dawn Mason
