A Herefordshire Community Group is asking for members of the public to donate preloved kitchen utensils to help local schools and other projects.

The Herefordshire Community Recycling and Reuse Group have asked if local residents can help them boost their supplies of preloved kitchen utensils so that they can continue to support local schools and other members of the community.

Andrew Wood from the Herefordshire Community Recycling and Reuse Group said:

“Over the last few weeks we have had about 10 requests from local primary schools for preloved kitchen utensils.

“We would love to replace the stock that has gone out, condition doesn’t matter, they can be metal, wood or plastic, so please don’t throw any unwanted away we can reuse them. Many thanks.”
