Food clubs support residents experiencing financial hardship with access to food and basic supplies. They can help provide a sustainable solution to food poverty and reduce the number of people needing to use emergency food banks on a long-term basis.

Residents who are struggling to make ends meet, or referred by agencies, including schools, older people’s services and food banks, can sign up to the membership scheme. Food clubs are open to people living within walking distance of the club.

There is an annual subscription of £1 to join a club and members pay £2 each week to attend.

Members receive nutritious and in-date surplus food from supermarkets at a discount. The food ranges from dry and tinned groceries, to fresh, seasonable fruit and vegetables, close to its sell by date.
