Food Pantry

Everyone is welcome!

At Nugent Pantry, we believe in providing equal access to food for everyone in our community. You don’t need to show proof of low income or unemployment; our pantry is open for all, every week.

Your weekly subscription

For a weekly subscription of £5, you will have access to a bountiful shop of food, including fresh fruit, vegetables, and cupboard favourites. The value of the shop often totals £15-20 or more, making it a cost-effective way to meet your grocery needs.

Empowering Communities, 
One Pantry at a Time

Nugent Pantry was established as part of the Your Local Pantry model, in collaboration with Skylight (part of Stockport Homes Group) and Church Action on Poverty. We aim to address food insecurity and help individuals and families make their money go further.

Our journey began with a successful weekly community food market in Kirkdale, supporting local people. Now, Nugent Pantry in Kensington, located at St Anne’s Church, enables us to reach even more people, including working closely with Asylum Link, to provide essential support.

Strengthening communities

Pantries go beyond providing food; they create a sense of community and togetherness. By bringing people together around food, we foster friendships, reduce the impact of poverty, and contribute to healthier, happier lives. Nugent Pantry operates as a membership food club and neighbourhood hub, acting as a springboard for other community initiatives and opportunities.

Hygiene Hub

Our Pantry does not only help with food poverty, we are committed to expanding our services to include personal hygiene products, such as sanitary towels. By addressing issues like Period Poverty, we contribute to the lives of young girls, enabling them to continue their education without missing school days due to a lack of sanitary products. According to a Plan International 2022 poll, 28% of UK girls aged 14-21 are struggling to afford period products, and 19% cannot afford them at all since the start of 2022.
