Community Pantry
We offer a ’15 items for £4’ shop.
We have a wide variety of items available as part of your shop, such as canned products (soups, vegetables and meats), biscuits, ready meals and dairy products like milk, cheese and yoghurts. Cereals, pasta, lentils and rice plus burgers, sausages and chicken.
We also provide a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Along with your £4 shop, you can additionally purchase a range of cleaning and hygiene products.
Stock varies depending on availability.
If you are in a food crisis situation, an emergency package can be available to you at no cost. This package will include 2 days worth of food for one individual. This is for those most in need within our community.
You can access this service any time during our opening hours, and our volunteers can assist you in the shop.
Period Dignity: We are a collection point for free period products, supporting free access to period supplies for all.
Christmas Hampers: At Christmas, we offer a low cost Christmas food hamper that can be pre-ordered through November.
In 2024 we sold a total of 66 hampers, feeding over 200 people at Christmas.
We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Community Pantry.
Our volunteers are vital in keeping our Pantry running smoothly, and without them, we would not be able to support our community as we currently do.
If you are interested in volunteering please contact our main office.
Donations: We are always so grateful for any donations we receive and are lucky to have been generously supported in the past.
To make a donation, please pop into our shop during opening hours.
