As part of the SDG goals project we have been tasked to look at Zero Hunger by Education Scotland and ACS Clothing. We are looking to set up a Pantry in which people can pay 50p for 20 items of their choice. The pupils will lead this. They have already made contact with both Aldis and Lidls. The pupils spoke to the managers of both stores. Craig at Aldis and Colin at Lidls have looked at their rotas and have explained they both have spaces for food donations/pick ups. They both advised we contact Neighbourly explianing we have spoken to them. We are looking for the Pantry to be set up and running the week beginning 12 th of June.
