We are committed to working with partners and local communities to tackle the root causes of hunger, build food security, provide low cost food to vulnerable groups and support people in crisis.

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

The Social supermarket have asked for a different kind of help this time, the surrounding areas are starting to be a little overgrown and the Social Supermarket are keen to create a community garden area. The Social supermarket are looking to develop their outdoor space so that it can be used for growing vegetables, fruit and herbs to supply the supermarket.

The lovely folk from Team SpringBoard CIC have been leading the mission and now the rest of the grounds need looking after too. There will be some weed picking on paths and tidying the car park.

Covid 19:
