About Us
We are a community grocer in Pride park who exist to help those who are struggling with the current cost-of-living crisis. Individuals can become a member for £5 per year and shop 3 times per week for £6 each shop. The items that are bought for £6, are valued at up to £25.
We are NOT a food bank and individuals would require funds to purchase items, however, we are certainly cheaper than supermarkets. Please see the flyer for more information!
