KLSB are a local community group who were set up in 2019 to help tidy up the green spaces of Larbert & Stenhousemuir.
On their very first litter pick more than 40 volunteers came out in the rain and helped rid the local park of over 100 bin bags worth or litter as well as many other discarded items. Since that day the group have grown and now plant and maintain various flower beds in the area plus also run a community food pantry for vulnerable and low income households.

The work that KLSB do in the community could not be achieved without the backing from our funding partners or the continued support from our many volunteers, all of whom we thank from the bottom of our heart.

We have been fortunate enough to have been awarded a small grant by Tesco - Bags of Help. We have used this grant to purchase spring bulbs which will be donated to schools, nurseries and children`s groups within the Larbert & Stenhousemuir area to allow them to get out and enjoy nature activities.
We follow Scottish Goverments guidelines in our approach to food poverty and we firmly believe that people should be treated with dignity when they are in crisis.

KLSB work closely with a food sharing charity called Fareshare who source surplus fresh and ambient foods from various retailers. Most of the food that is supplied by Fareshare will be coming close to its use by date but is still perfectly ok to be passed onto our members. Due to the current Covid pandemic the surplus food from the retailers are running short meaning that the supply is not enough to allow us to help our members. If you can help than please donate whatever items of food that you can spare. We have a drop of point at The Salvation Army hall on King Street, Stenhousemuir, The hall is open for donations on a Monday from 5.00pm - 7.00pm.
