Everybody should have access to good food. Everybody values community. Your Local Pantry - Brasshouse provide both – and more. Across the UK, 90,000+ people are finding friendship, food and freedom through Pantry membership. Pantries are all about dignity, choice and hope.

Our Pantry is:

MEMBER RUN:
Pantries operate along cooperative lines, and many volunteers are members too.
OPEN TO ALL:
You don’t need a referral - anyone who lives in an area served by a Pantry can join.
LONG-LASTING:
You can join for as long as you want, and can choose to go every week or just occasionally.

Our pantry stock an abundant and wide range of top-quality food including fresh fruit and veg, frozen and chilled food, meat and dairy products, and long-life tinned and packaged food.

Our members pay a small subscription of £6 a week, and in return can choose groceries worth many times more, often saving up to £1,000 a year on shopping bills.

Our Pantry is just like a shop, in that you choose the food you want from the shelves.

Our Pantry is run by uniformed staff and volunteers who manage the stores with hand-held technology.

Our Pantry is a part of a cherished service within our community centre and neighbourhood hub, often serving as a springboard to other initiatives and ideas, such as cookery classes, volunteering opportunities, and training.

Our impact through our Pantry have been shown to:

Strengthen communities
Improve health and wellbeing
Improve household finances
Prevent waste
Prevent hunger
Build dignity and agency
