A community larder in a Northamptonshire village has reopened following a major refurbishment prompted by growing demand.

Woodford Halse Rural Community Larder underwent a complete transformation during the summer, with the improved facility designed to provide a sustainable space for residents for years to come.

The larder provides affordable food and practical support to people in the local community, as well as offering a welcoming place for residents to visit.

The larder is among a number of community initiatives providing affordable food and support to residents across West Northamptonshire.
