Pantries

The pantry-style food schemes provide you with access to affordable and healthy foods, toiletries, baby products and household items. The pantries work on a membership basis, offering a family-oriented shopping experience at a fixed weekly token price. The £2.50 weekly shopping fee and the £3 annual membership fee entitle you to 10 items that have the estimated value of £20, which is a generous top-up to your weekly shopping.
