Campus Services is providing free ingredients for students, to help with the cost of living.

The food will be available from the two Community Larders, located on campus by Fresh, and The Virgil Building cafe area. Ingredients will be put out at 6.30pm each Monday during term time.

The initiative is due to the ongoing success of the Community Larder, which has prevented thousands of items from going to waste.

The larder has secured funding from the Advancement Office, so that each week, there will be staple ingredients available to help make meals.

Take a look at our recipes for inspiration of how to use these ingredients to prepare healthy, tasty meals on a budget.

As well as improving your culinary skills, cooking together is a great way to get to know your new housemates, and save money.

The free ingredients are provided for those that need them, so please only take what you really need and will use.
