Intro:
There are currently 3 larders in the town in the following locations:
- Blairgowrie Bowling Club (Bowls of Help)
- Ashgrove Road (Bob's Barter Box)
- Rattray Community Connect (Fraser's Fare Share)
They are filled usually on a Monday, Thursday and Saturday evenings and checked the next morning by volunteers to ensure items are removed that need removing.
They were refurbished in 2022 by Wisecraft who also installed a roof with space for a living roof.
The larder at the Guide Hut was removed in 2022 due to the Guide Hut re-build.
Next Activity:
Create living roofs.
Decide whether to install the 4th larder.

More info
There were 4 Give & Take larders in the town initially set up to support those struggling during the Covid pandemic but were transitioned to focus on reducing food waste in 2021. They are filled most evenings with surplus food from Tescos, Coops (Coupar Angus Road and Perth Road) and Sainsburys. The food is mostly gone by morning. See below for the map.
