A community resource in Wishaw that provided food and essentials to struggling families has been recognized in the Scottish Parliament for its significant contribution.
Volunteers at a vital community resource in Wishaw that provides food and other essentials to people struggling to make ends meet have been recognised in the Scottish Parliament. Coltness Community Larder helped countless families and individuals since it launched just over three years ago but found it increasingly difficult to keep up with demand.
Launched by Coltness Community Council to help people in the area over the festive period in 2022, and operating from the Carrick Hall, it was realised that the larder was providing a vital part in helping people make ends meet. The decision was made to continue with the larder and it soon found a new home, and daytime opening on a Friday morning, at the more central location of the church hall at St Mark’s Church in Coltness Road. However, the community council announced on social media that the larder would close permanently on Friday, December 13. The motion, from Motherwell and Wishaw MSP Clare Adamson, states: ‘that the Parliament acknowledges what it sees as the significant contribution of the Coltness Food Larder, which has provided vital support to families in the Coltness area for the last three years.
