How it works

Bring a shopping bag and fill it from a selection of mixed groceries and rescued produce for a suggested donation of £3.50, helping you to save your money for other essentials. The food you choose from the community food hub will not only help you but because the food is rescued it is good for the planet too.

Our friendly staff and volunteers will be on hand to help you make the most of your weekly shop by sharing recipes, healthy options, cookery skills, and tips to reduce your household food waste. We will host regular cooking demonstrations and include our favourite food-saving tips.

We work closely with local organisations, charities and community groups and will help connect you to the long-term support you might require. We will have information available on local support groups and often invite these groups in so you can meet them whilst you wait.

Who is it for?

We encourage anyone who is on a tight budget, for any reason, to come along and get the support you need. You do not need a referral, no one will be turned away, and you are not limited on the amount of times you can come.
