The East Marsh charity that provides care and support the homeless and socially excluded has been awarded a high five star rating for cleanliness. 

The Harbour Place Day centre – which serves up hot meals and drinks for its service users – has been awarded the five star rating as part of North East Lincolnshire Council’s Scores On The Doors scheme.  

Scores On The Doors is part of a national Food standards Agency backed scheme aiming to improve the legal compliance of all food businesses across the UK. 

North East Lincolnshire Council’s Trading Standards Officers check on the businesses health and hygiene standards in the kitchen and marks them on a star rating scale, with five being the highest. 

Dave Carlisle, project coordinator at Harbour Place in Albert Street west, said: “We had a four star rating previously, so naturally we are delighted to have been awarded the full marks. 

“It shows the service we provide is good and confirms what we’re doing is right. 

“A lot of credit must go to the volunteers who have put in an awful lot of hard work. 

“We are all very proud and it has raised the morale of all the team.”
