ALDI HAYDOCK

We are a Local Food Pantry for the Haydock and Blackbrook communities. Come along and become a member to reduce your weekly shopping bills, build up the community and help to reduce food waste. For a weekly membership fee of £5 you can have a cuppa in our community café and leave with 10 items from the shelves totaling between £15-£25 value plus some lovley freebies. This is part of T.A.N.G.O. community project (together as neighbours giving out) which runs from ST Mark’s Church Haydock. Whilst you're with us you may like to check out our furniture project and second-hand shop, the amazing space provided by our community garden and the great range of community groups that also meet in our centre, church and warehouse to build up our community and support each other including Brew and renew, a place where its OK not to be ok.

We are a community project in Wigan dedicated to reducing the amount of edible wasted food reaching landfill. We intercept surplus edible waste food and make it available to our community through our cafes and outlets. In addition we provide cooking classes and educational programs and work with schools and local organisations to educate people about food waste reduction. Although we often support people who need extra help, we are open to everyone. All support is beneficial, including financial help, as well as any food that we can use. 😄

Our community pantry helps local people access affordable food while reducing food waste by redistributing surplus food intercepted from a variety of sources. We are passionate about rescuing good food that would otherwise be discarded and ensuring it benefits people within our community instead. The pantry operates on a low-cost membership basis, with a £5 annual membership fee and £3 per shop (maximum of two shops per week). Members can choose from a wide range of food, helping families and individuals stretch their budgets while maintaining dignity and choice. As well as supporting people with food, we aim to create a welcoming and inclusive community space. Last year, we refurbished and extended our building to better serve local people and recently opened a weekly Pay-As-You-Feel Café. The café is already proving to be a popular and valued space where people can enjoy affordable meals, meet others, and access support in a warm and friendly environment. Everything we do is volunteer-led and rooted in community, sustainability, and supporting local people through challenging times.
