Membership of Rose Hill Community Larder has increased by 40% since July 2022, and the Larder is now providing support for more than 120 people in OX4. Oxford is one of the most expensive places to live in the UK, which makes life challenging for many local households as they were already spending a larger proportion than average of their income on energy and food before the recent and ongoing increases to the cost of living.
At Harvest Festival, Junior School pupils donated approximately 250 breakfast items, including cereals, juice, jam/honey, milk and tea/coffee and designed gift tags for the breakfast bags given to members. In November, MCS staff donated more than £100 of pet food and treats to members with animal companions as part of a ‘Pet Partners’ event. The Larder team were also delighted to be joined by journalist, MCS parent and governor, Saira Khan, who visited the Larder to research and write a feature for the Sunday Mirror.
Work to further improve the services on offer continues apace with Larder Coordinator, Carmel Engin, securing a partnership with The Hygiene Bank to provide personal care items to members on a regular basis. She has also engaged with Transition by Design, architects who specialise in community participation and are leading a project on behalf of Oxford City Council to better understand Rose Hill residents’ views on retrofit and energy flexibility. Other partners include Community Dental Services, Veg Power, Project LEO and Ruskin College, who are offering free English language lessons to Larder members.
As part of the Community Larder Christmas Gift Appeal, MCS pupils and their families have been asked to donate items such as hats, scarves, fleeces, hot water bottles and slippers to gift to members. The year will end in the traditional festive way with our members’ Christmas event on December 13; all are very welcome to attend for carols, mulled apple juice and mince pies.
