Community Food Boxes can be set up on a street for people to donate into and so those in need can access. These are really useful when someone has food that’s near its use by date and they want to donate as they don’t have to wait for somewhere to open. It’s there 24/7.

Affordable Food Clubs are proving that when people have dignified access to good food at fair prices, the benefits go far beyond the dinner table. From improved wellbeing and healthier eating, to reduced reliance on food banks and stronger community connections...
