Help Us Keep Newquay’s Community Pantry Open
Newquay, United Kingdom
Aim
Our new community pantry, The Stores in Newquay, will offer affordable food, dignity, and support and help people move beyond the foodbank.
We are Newquay Foodbank, a local charity supporting people in our community who are experiencing food insecurity. Through our work, we consistently hear that one of the biggest challenges people face is moving on from emergency food provision and regaining independence without falling back into crisis.
That’s why we have launched a new model: The Stores community pantry. This project is designed to help people transition from free emergency food to affordable, dignified shopping, offering choice, stability, and a stepping stone towards financial independence.
Our vision is a Newquay where fewer people rely on foodbanks long-term, and more people feel supported, confident, and in control of their food choices. The Stores will also provide a welcoming space for connection and access to practical support such as budgeting and wellbeing guidance.
Having successfully raised £1,178 to help towards set up costs, our Crowdfunder is now set to Always On, meaning you can now donate to support ongoing delivery of our project.
This will help us keep the shelves stocked, our equipment like fridges and freezers running smoothly, provide staff and volunteer training, and support costs for our partnership with Your Local Pantry. It will also ensure we can deliver a safe, welcoming, and sustainable service from day one.
Together, we can build a fairer, more dignified way to access food in Newquay.
