Next Tuesday 8 May 2018 a community food shop will be opened in Wester Hailes at the Healthy Living Centre which is part of the Wester Hailes Health Centre.
The shop will be open from 10am to 2pm each Tuesday.
You will be able to buy vegetable bags from Cyrenians Farm at £8 a bag, discounted to £6 for local residents and Tasting Change participants.
Healthy Start vouchers will be accepted which means a bag of organic seasonal vegetables will cost just £2.90.
Tasting Change’s own energy bars will be free to locals and Tasting Change participants and on sale to others.
You can donate to the organisation’s pay it forward scheme on the day.
One of the representatives from Tasting Change said : “Do let us know if there is anything that you or those that you work with, would like to see on sale at the shop.
“Our vision is for this to grow into a shop that is for everyone living and working in the Wester Hailes community. We would be delighted if you could join us on a Tuesday- or we can take orders if you don’t work then- for some plastic free shopping!”
Tasting Change is a multi agency partnership set up to tackle food insecurity and promote positive food and health opportunities in Wester Hailes.
