Heart of Cheddar is committed to supporting the community in Cheddar. Our mission is to uplift local residents by providing essential resources and fostering community resilience. We plan to operate a shop in Cheddar, where we will sell donated goods (clothing, books, and household items) to generating profits that will be redistributed back into the community via various, much needed, grants.
