This is NOT just a local enterprise. It's part of something BIGGER
You might know us as the Community Kitchen or Gift Shop on Saltash's Fore Street, but we're actually just a part of Community Enterprises PL12 CIC, and there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than most people realise.
We're not a grant pot sitting quietly in the background - we're hands-on. We support our Saltash community directly, through PEOPLE, PREMISES & PROJECTS.
A bit about us:
Set up in 2006, we're a not-for-profit run entirely by a board of local directors - people who live right here in Saltash and the surrounding areas. Between us, we have over 100 amazing volunteers, more than 700 members, and just 2 paid staff.
Any profit from any of our enterprises or initiatives goes back into our local causes, from our vital community groups to our Fridge and Larder.
What we do:
🟢COMMUNITY KITCHEN: We run a genuinely great value lunch in our Community Kitchen at 8 Fore Street- good food, good company, and a bit of friendship for anyone who fancies it.
🟡FRIDGE & LARDER: Gives the community access to surplus food that would otherwise go to waste - good for local pockets, and good for the planet too.
🟣VOLUNTEERING: We offer volunteering opportunities for all sorts of people - from retired folk with time to give, working professionals wanting to make a difference, and young people completing their Duke of Edinburgh award.
🟠MEMORY BOX: This group provides support and activities for those affected by a mild to moderate cognitive impairment, especially dementia.
🔵OFFICE SPACE: We run great value offices for rent in the heart of Saltash - which is vital to keeping local support in the town - from Storybook Dads , Saltash Foodbank and Citizens Advice Cornwall as well as local businesses.
We share ideas, share resources, and roll up our sleeves - all with one aim: making Saltash and the surrounding area a better place to live, work, and visit.
So next time you pop into the Gift Shop, Community Kitchen or Fridge and Larder, or Memory Box, remember - you're stepping into so much more.
Fancy volunteering, popping in for lunch, grabbing a surplus food bargain, or just finding out more? Come and say hello. 👋
