A community larder in Oxfordshire has moved premises so it can better serve residents in need.
The Didcot Community Larder will now be based at the Northbourne Centre on Church Street after moving from the Marlborough Club.
Community larders differ from food banks and are designed to support people to live more independently.

Sarah Wilson, former leader of the Didcot Community Larder, gave more detail on the change of location.
She said: “We unfortunately we weren't able to have a fridge [at the Marlborough Club] because they didn’t have space and we wanted to be able to offer our members the same as every other larder because every other larder had a fridge, and poor old Didcot didn’t.
“So that’s what really started the move.”
The Northbourne Centre, operated by Didcot Arts and Community Association, is a community building used by a range of local groups.
Didcot Community Larder’s first day at the Northbourne Centre marked Ms Wilson’s final day in charge.
She said: “I started at the Didcot Community Larder about nine months ago, but I’ve loved it, it’s been a fantastic experience and I’ve been an activator for the Oxford City Larders so I’ve managed to see lots of them and see how they work and the fantastic thing about them is that it’s all about the volunteers and the members.
“It’s a fantastic community.”
