Hi please could you add us to your food map - Saltash Cornwall Community Enterprises PL12 - Community Fridge and Larder. We started the Community Fridge to encourage people to share food and to reduce food waste, and to support those who are struggling to access food. We collect surplus food via Fareshare, and supermarkets and redistribute it from our Community Fridge and larder, and our mobile Fridge. We are open 4 days a week, and our mobile fridge goes out twice a week. Our address is 4 Fore Street, Saltash

Hi, How do i register our Community Fridge and Larder ( Saltash) on the Cornwall Food Map /Thank you,

Hi please could you add us to your map - St Ives Cornwall. https://www.stivesorchard.co.uk/foodshare/. We are a foodshare group formed to reduce food waste and to support those struggling financially, isolated or vulnerable to access food. We collect surplus and waste food and redistributing it every single day from various sources, offering collections to all 4 times a week and deliveries to houses twice a week. This includes meals that we have cooked up using the surplus food. We are based in both the St Ives Community Orchard and the ST Ives Rugby club. Alexandra Rd, Saint Ives TR26 1ER

As a general comment that embraces the whole charity ethos I still don't understand why, often, a single mother (I know some are such through bereavement or other unfortunate circumstances) but she has paid for some expensive tattoos, is often smoking a cigarette when filmed by a BBC/ITV team and has any number of children - sometimes 'fathered' by different men - where are the 'single' fathers? Also requests for disease-free water in 'Water Aid', for example, in third world often shows a cow standing in the water source or similar - why don't they take control of their animals; again, where are the men? It's nearly always a group of women and children. It seems population control should be a condition of aid. (PS: I donate regularly to Sainsbury's food bank box.)

Map doesn’t workPlease fix this or give a list instead

How very sad this is, basically as an authority you are admitting that there is a great deal of inequality and poverty in what is purported to be a 'rich country'. Seemingly, instead of providing jobs and social support indicative of a 'rich country' you now rely upon voluntary efforts rather than addressing an authority's moral and social responsibilities in our so called enlightened and progressive society - a 21C society. Agreed, that communities should be encouraged to support their community - but basically this is a cynical move away from state support - which I agree with on some levels. The question is, is central government using this situation to make fundamental social changes, not entirely before time, but without informative and helpful education and encouragement in a wide range of social initiatives that encourage this change. It appears that a heavy hand is making changes under cover of a 'crisis'. Where does Fareshare obtain the 12-15 tons of food - supermarkets, local shops, individuals?? And why do the folks who access this service have iphones but no food? Zooming - well again, no food but data rich! What a disgraceful society we have become - with values so far removed from decency, reality, individual and corporate responsibility

Thank you for your comments - we are currently updating the map and will be adding more information in due course.

Hi, We have partnered with FareShare to enable us to bring support into Cornwall. Each week we distribute some 12-15 ton of food across Cornwall to 18 community foodbanks. This is enough to produce 30,000 meals each week. Most of those we support are not on your list and we think they should be as many people may miss out of the vital support we bring to Cornwall. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.353895,-5.289755,9z/data=!4m2!6m1!1s1Nc2YwdAGt39jMtyT89mbM6l4Gdj8IC3H?hl=en-GB

Can you please add Mabe Emergency Group?

I can't get help even though I have been shielding since march last year I try to get shopping on line but tescos always book up for weeks. Iceland week before Christmas took my money then never bought my food then tried to ring me I told them I was deaf then when trying to get my money back it took 2 weeks. Plus a lady made fun of me being deaf.

I understand that a food bank is/will soon be open in Fowey - can you please show details so donations can happen?

Hayle Community Kitchen listed at disAbility Cornwall & Isles of Scilly on Guildford Road, finished after the first lockdown in 2020. We have continued to support our Community Kitchen clients in other ways such as food shopping and wellbeing calls to check in on hundreds each week. If the need increases then we will bring back the kitchen but at the moment people are much better supported than the first lockdown. Thank you

Typical UK local government: We need to do it, done it ,box ticked .It’s ineffectual but that doesn’t matter. Useless on phones - doesn’t matter we did it:

Yes some of what is relevant to myself at this time .tyvm .stay safe .

No, I couldn't zoom in on Looe to find where to locate drop off points for donations

Good morning , I was hoping to try and plant herb gardens in each village with help from those in local community’s .A easily sustainable idea , but easily utilised by all .Providing herbs and a up cycled planter so everyone can benefit .Using rain water and each village or community look after herb box themselves once set up .Would i need council permission to start setting up locally to my postcode first then extending with support of others .With kindest regards jojo & fi

Its a great map but it doesn't show any community food support centres north or east of Truro. This can't be right. Could you also include information about how to contribute to local food support centres please.
