    Have you got any family, friends or neighbours nearby who could help you out - you may have to offer them some as a bribe ;) . How about an uninsulated garden shed? What about insulated picnic bags with ice packs in?

    Sorry but I'm really racking my brains here. Good Luck - it would be a terrible shame for all those to go to waste!

    What about donating some to Age Concern or local Family Centre? They may not want them but if they did it would be a rewarding thing to do.

    Failing that have a soup party! How about a Halloween do for adults and kids with hot soup to finish?

    I've seen certain foodstuffs offered on freecycle. I'm sure you would get a lot of replies for Seeds of Change soup.

    Beg space from friends and neighbours, or donate it to them?

    Party idea sounds fun though, especially if everyone bought something along as well!
