An innovative scheme to tackle social issues through healthy food is going from strength to strength in Whitehaven.
The Food Pantry Project is now to run an event each month at St Peter's Community Hall in Woodhouse. The first event will be on October 18.
There are also plans to develop a Food Pantry in a local school.
The work is part of a £20,000 pilot scheme funded by Copeland and Allerdale Councils. It looks to improve health and wellbeing using food which would otherwise be wasted. The project is also being supported by Cumbria County Council.
