Coverdale and Newbank Community Association’s<br />
Community Grocer project is following in the footsteps<br />
of the award-winning Anson Community Grocer.<br />
Based at 217 Stockport Road, the Community Grocer opens<br />
its doors to the residents of Ardwick every Thursday. Members<br />
who have joined their food share scheme will pay only £2.50<br />
for £12 to £15 worth of groceries.<br />
The caring volunteers have also been running the Kids MealBox Project for local<br />
children during school holidays, where youngsters who would usually receive<br />
a nutritious meal at school are provided with a free meal out of term-time.<br />
Running Monday to Friday at dinnertime, the project provides a safe and fun<br />
environment with activities to keep the kids occupied as well as making sure<br />
they get a lovely lunch.<br />
Project Coordinator Elaine Lovesey says, “We recognised<br />
that when children are off school for the holidays it can<br />
really stretch a family’s budget by having to provide<br />
lunches which would normally be given at school.<br />
We wanted to do something to help and the Kids<br />
MealBox Project was born.<br />
“Since we started the project it’s gone from strength<br />
to strength. We have great volunteers and lunchtimes<br />
in the holidays are fun. Children love coming and<br />
parents tell us what a great help the project is!”<br />
