Everyone is welcome; we do not require any financial paperwork (such as benefits information) for residents to visit the shop.

Regarding the long life shelves, you can take four different items once a week for £1.00. All other items (unless priced) are available for a donation. Customers are asked to provide a signature if they have taken their four items or meat so we can monitor who has picked up that week. Customers are also asked to provide their postcode so we can plot our shop usage on a map.
