Residents in the Pennyburn, Whitehirst and Blacklands areas of Kilwinning now have the opportunity to get local access to a variety of low-cost produce. The council’s latest community pantry will include fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, tinned goods and personal hygiene products. North Ayrshire Council has been supporting community organisations as they co-produce a North Ayrshire community food network known as North Ayrshire Fairer Food, following on from the initial coronavirus lockdown. Cranberry’s Community Larder in Kilwinning was launched in partnership with North Ayrshire Council following the successful launch of Ardrossan’s Quaint Larder and the Woodwynd Wee Shoap.
The Woodwynd’s Wee Shoap is being run by the volunteers of the ACES group. This is part of a North Ayrshire Council’s plans to build a community food network including the Fullarton Community Hub in Irvine and Café Solace in Kilbirnie. Residents are asked to pay £3 which allows them to buy goods up to the value of £15. Woodwynd’s Wee Shoap in Kilwinning follows the successful launch of Ardrossan’s Quaint Larder late last year. Both shops have a membership scheme basis and provide a mini supermarket-like environment where residents have the opportunity to choose their own food.
