SERVICE DETAILS
The Broomhouse Pantry was set up to provide affordable and nutritious food to local residents.
For a weekly membership of £3.50, members of Broomhouse Pantry will be able to choose a selection of food with a value of £15 - £20 each week. The pantry is here to help you top up your weekly shop, and the variety of food available includes fresh fruit and veg, store cupboard favourites, bread and dairy products.
The aim of the Community Pantry is to reduce financial stress, isolation, improve health/wellbeing and provide a community food store, creating a sustainable and long-term solution to food poverty. As isolation is part of poverty, with people unable to afford to do things, residents meet their neighbours, friendly staff, and volunteers to chat to while helping them save money on their food bills.
Residents can access The Pantry once a week and they pay £3.50 for 10 items of food. Service users chose their own items, accessing good food, whilst freeing up more money for other essentials and enabling tight budgets to stretch a little further. It means people can stay afloat in tough times, rather than being swept into debt.
