M&S Alton

Alton Community Cupboard is a community project set up to reduce waste. Local volunteers collect surplus food (and other surplus goods) from supermarkets, allotments and peoples' fridges and make it available to anyone and everyone from the local area. Alton Community Cupboard does not charge for the food and surplus goods that we distribute but small voluntary donations of £2 are accepted for higher value items to contribute to running costs. Alton Community Cupboard makes the food and surplus goods available to anyone in the community that can benefit from these. The shop opens 6 days per week and there are a core of customers who attend every week or more frequently as well as others who attend from time to time. In 2024 approximately 100,000kg of surplus food was distributed. Please email altoncommunitycupboard@gmail.com rather than messaging here, thank you

We want children to love learning and know about the world, its people, history and traditions and we want them to embrace the future by being confident with new technology and able to take on new challenges confidently and positively. Our caring, committed and hardworking staff are dedicated to developing the knowledge, skills and understanding to enable children to enjoy learning and to achieve and build good foundations for a successful future. We wish to provide breakfast to pupils who would not normally receive a meal at home.
