What is this service?

Students pay a small amount each visit (£5), and receive approximately £20-£25 worth of goods, from a range of food (including fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen and chilled food, meat, dairy, vegetarian and vegan products, alongside a supply of tins and packets) and non-food items (such as household and personal hygiene items).

In addition to accessing the pantry goods, students will be able to engage in wrap-around support including:

  • A warm space for students to relax and build relationships with free refreshments

  • Recipes and cooking demonstrations of simple, low cost, healthy meals

  • Pastoral support to those who would like to access

  • Signposting to University provision (such as hardship funds, mental health support), church support, activities and other local support as appropriate

Just turn up on Sundays during term time. (last entry is 3.20pm) with your student ID badge, a couple of carrier bags and £5 card/cash. You can find us by going down the little side street in between KFC and the King's Tun pub! We promise you a warm welcome.
