Sainsbury's Mansfield

Team Foodshare Rainworth, Blidworth and Surrounding areas was set up in 2017 by the Registered Charity The Social Action Hub in response to the growing need to support local communities who are suffering from food insecurity AND to tackle the ever growing food waste that is both frustrating and needless. Anyone can be a member! You can help us tackle the food waste by collecting perishable items from us, such as bread, fruit and vegetables, that are on or near their use by or best before date. Or you might find this weeks bills are making the budgeting tight and popping in will reduce the budget burden. We are open: Monday & Thursday 10am - 2pm Wednesday 12pm-3pm & 4pm-7pm Our service is not means tested, you do not have to be in receipt of benefits, we don’t need proof of income - We are open to all. - Shops & Local People donate items to our Social Supermarket they no longer need or are able to stock on their shelves. We also purchase surplus food at a reduced cost. Our baskets cost just £4.50 or £6 - depending on which one you choose. ALL food from Neighbourly donations are a part of our FREE section at The Social Supermarket as well as our Youth Community Fridge for Children & Young People.

We reach out to our local community with food parcels and also meals. We fight to alleviate poverty and make sure people have food to eat and also ensure that food is not wasted. We also provide support to children and families in the community. We are able to achieve our vision and carry out our activities through free will donations and support from community members, food surplus which we share to people. We are a religious charity group based in Mansfield and support approximately 150 people weekly including adults and children. We currently operate from Trinity Methodist Church at the address below. 117 Clipstone Road W 117 Clipstone Road West Forest Town Mansfield NG19 0BT United Kingdom We also had the Environmental Health team visited us on 08/10/2024 for Food Safety Inspection and we were awarded 5 star rating. We are in the process of acquiring and moving to our own property and that would be our permanent operation site. We hope to move within the next 4-6 weeks. The Environmental Health team at Mansfield District Council is aware of the proposed relocation The new address would be : Methodist Church Bridge Street MANSFIELD NG18 2HA Service users are members of the church community and we also share with our neighbours in the community as shown in the pictures on our page. In addition, we are also planning to run a weekly soup kitchen for homeless people when we get to our permanent property. We are currently registered with Fareshare UK and we collect surplus from 2 different Tesco Extra stores located at Chesterfield road south and Jubilee way,(both in Mansfield). We just secured approval from Fareshare UK to collect food surplus from main Asda, forest town also in Mansfield.
