This friendly shop, at 59 Catherine Street, Salisbury, is a membership scheme for people on low incomes who struggle to balance the demands on their household income.
The shop is run by Salisbury City Council’s Communities Team and is part of a franchise run by Church Action on Poverty called ‘Your Local Pantry’. Anyone in the Salisbury City Are who need access to low cost food can join.
The Communities Team have created this social supermarket to ensure we can continue to take action on food poverty in Salisbury.
Social Supermarkets – not just about food!
We are a place to shop and choose your food at a low cost, and we can do this because we stock donated and redistributed food, but we are also a place where people can ask for advice and be signposted to other sources of support.
Our aim is for Your Salisbury Pantry to be a space where members can build connections, confidence and sense of belonging in the community. Members can also volunteer alongside us to help us achieve these aims, together.
You can sign up here or in the shop on our opening day (Tuesday 10 - 3) or by calling 01722 417100.
Members shop when they need to and each shop costs £5. For this you can expect to take home £25 to £30 worth of food.
