A home for your excess veges: New scheme aims help elderly with rising living costs

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Seeing the elderly go without fresh fruit and vegetables led one North Canterbury woman to set up what she hopes will become a nationwide scheme that connects gardeners with excess produce to those most in need.

Julie Lamplugh has set up The SEDE Project in Rangiora and is hoping its success may lead to other communities through-out New Zealand doing the same to help pensioners who may be struggling with the cost of living.

After hearing about 93-year-old Christchurch man Keith Simmonds struggle to afford to eat fresh produce, Lamplugh wanted to help.

“We’ve managed to find a gap where the need isn’t being met.”

A community-led initiative, SEDE which stands for Supporting Elderly Diet Enrichment, aims to coordinate contact between home gardeners and pensioners who would welcome free produce.

The service will also offer isolated elderly residents ongoing contact with people in their neighbourhoods.
