About Our Service
Find out below what we do
In October 2024 a group of local residents created the Sherburn in Elmet Community Larder (SIECL), in order to help alleviate food poverty within the town. Working together as a charity (Registered Charity No. 1211204) SIECL could provide a service that was regrettably not present in Sherburn.
​
Our purpose as a charity is to help those who are struggling with food by providing a weekly foodbank-style service. Giving out cupboard goods, household goods, and hygiene products. We also have the provision where we can signpost people who are in need, to other services that are best placed to help them.
Whilst we don't currently offer perishable goods, we are hoping that by making this start we can build up to offering that as part of our core service.
​
Due to being a small charity, we operate with a tight-knit team of volunteers, on a small scale. That means that when people access our service, they are given a tick-list of items that they can choose from. This is then sent to our storage facility to be made and brought up, whilst our customers can sit and have a cup of tea or coffee.
