ALDI CHESTERFIELD

Provision of services, human resources, help & advice to those in need in the local area and further afield, of any age or background. We are currently running a project called Re:Store; a community cafe and food service where anyone in the local area can come for a drink and a chat before accessing our food service. Entry to the food service costs £2, and allows people to collect short dated food, which would otherwise be wasted, and use it to feed their families. So as well as combatting food waste, we are helping families in need and providing an opportunity for them to meet up with others over a free coffee. Entry to Re:Store is open to anyone living in an S18 postcode. There is a waiting list for the food service but the cafe can be used by anyone.

We are a membership only community project fighting food poverty in chesterfield. Before the lockdowns, we were a community café helping disadvantaged and vulnerable people get a warm, healthy meal. During the lockdown, we delivered in excess of 10,000 food parcels to frontline workers, vulnerable and shielding people and everybody else who needed our help.

Holy Trinity Community Café – Supporting Our Neighbourhood Holy Trinity is a Parish Church located close to Chesterfield College. We offer a friendship Tea and Toast café as part of our commitment to being a warm, welcoming space for anyone in our community who may be feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or in need of support. We provide free breakfasts and hot drinks to anyone who needs them – no questions asked. People come to us for warmth, food, friendship, and conversation. Some come for a break from work, others for company, and many simply for a sense of belonging. We regularly welcome those who are lonely, homeless, or struggling in other ways. Our Tea and Toast café is also a space for signposting to other services, and we work in partnership with Chesterfield College and local mental health teams. We provide placements for students and create opportunities for shared learning, growth, and care. We offer access to a small emergency food bank and frozen supermarket meals.
