ALDI WINCHESTER

The Pantry initiative is designed to support people with food deprivation, helping them to escape or move on from their current emergency with a ‘helping hand’ approach. The Unit 12 Pantry in Partnership with RCS. It provides a holistic approach in servicing the needs of the community as it gives additional support on budgeting, wellbeing, adult learning and employment. Food provided in the pantry will be fresh, frozen and general foods. All donations of surplus donated through Neighbourly will be available for free. We have a separate table and fridge/freezer spaces where surplus donations from the supermarkets will be available to all members in addition to their £5.00 membership shop.

UKHarvest is a leading environmental and social impact charity dedicated to preventing food waste and food insecurity. By enriching and educating our communities we help nurture those most food insecure, to live well, age well and to help combat social isolation. From our food rescue operation to our education programmes, to our award winning Nourish Hub, every initiative we offer brings people together for the most meaningful impact. We collect perishable food from places like supermarkets, hotels, wholesalers, farmers, stadiums, catering companies, shopping centres, cafes and more, delivering it for free to charities and individuals throughout the UK. We use the food as a medium to engage communities and teach people to reduce household food waste so everyone can join our mission!

Trinity Winchester is an organisation helping people to improve their lives. Our dedicated project workers provide vital practical and emotional support to over 600 people each year who are experiencing the effects of homelessness or vulnerability including addiction, physical and mental ill health, poverty, social isolation and domestic abuse. We provide advice and information, signposting and referrals, breakfast and a hot lunch, healthcare, a full learning programme and confidence building recreational activities. With food donations, we would like to be able to spend less of our finances on food, and more on providing well rounded services to not only feed individuals, but offer support to change their lives.
