WELCOME! Greetings and welcome to the first ever monthly Sherwood Exchange newsletter! This newsletter aims to help keep you informed about the goings on at The Exchange, with latest news and upcoming events, while also offering some useful advice and tips that may help you along the way.
Our food is staying fresher and usable for longer, thanks to a wonderful donation of a large fridge last month. The ‘retail sized’ fridge created surprise and some commotion, as the door frame had to be removed and needed four people to put it in place.
The fridge not only allows us to store more fresh food, but has also means we have now been permitted to receive surplus stock from FareShare Midlands – a charity who ensure that surplus supermarket food is prevented from becoming waste by redistributing it to community groups such as our Exchange.
