Mission Ipswich East is a parish in an area of Ipswich which doesn't generally have high levels of deprivation. However, during the Covid crisis of 2020 we became aware that many people living in the area were struggling financially. Often they had enjoyed a reasonable standard of living but due to furlough and job loss many were experiencing high levels of food poverty. We set up a food shop in the Church building in December 2020. Customers can come along on a Wednesday afternoon and access good quality food. They don't have to prove need or be referred. They pay £2 and go home with a bag of food. Most of our supplies come from Fareshare but we welcome other donations of food, cleaning items, toiletries and treats. We thought that our role would end when covid finished but the Cost of Living crisis has increased need. We regularly see 70-100 individual customers each week. They represent over 200 family members. After people have bought their bag of shopping they are invited to stay for a few cup of tea or coffee with biscuits or cake. This gives us a chance to chat to them and discover other problems. We are then able to support them and sign post them to other groups and agencies. We have a direct link with Citizens Advice who attend one a month. The shop is staffed and run entirely by volunteers. We cover all our costs from the £2 payments and any profits will be ploughed back into the shop or used to support our customers in other ways. The Church administrates the money involved but it is kept totally separate.
