Everyone should have access to good food, but continued financial insecurity and high living costs mean that many people have to go without food, heating or both – or face falling into dangerous debt. Everybody values community, but people on low incomes are often isolated and excluded from taking part. It can be hard to access services and support which could help people deal with challenges in a dignified way. Projects which address these issues are increasingly struggling to cope with demand.

Your Local Pantries provide both food and community – and more. Across the UK, over 90,000 people have found friendship, food and freedom through Pantry membership. For a weekly membership fee of £3.50-7.00, Pantry members can choose a basket of groceries and supplies worth an average of £21. Being part of our network helps Pantries to weather the many challenges facing charities today. Pantries receive support and guidance, and can share ideas and aopproaches with others in the network.
