The Pop-Up Pantry

Pop-Up Pantry was launched in May 2022 and has already grown to well over 300 members and is supporting 350 people a week across 4 locations.

The vision for the project was taken from The Byker Pantry. We asked the question, ‘How can we take what we do in Byker and pop-it up in other locations?’ Out of this was born the Pop-up Pantry. Just like the Byker Pantry, the Pop-Up Pantries are an alternative to a food bank and one where people can have the dignity of choice. All our pantries aim to save people at least 50% on the RRP of food and household items and often saves people even more.

A regular user of The Pop-Up Pantry can save £600+ a year, which is a significant amount of money for individuals and families on low incomes.

This project also is a place of community and is tackling isolation.
