📢 Changes to opening hours from Monday 8th June

After reviewing visitor feedback, usage data, food availability and volunteer capacity, we’re making some changes to our opening hours from Monday 8th June.

The main changes are:

🔹 Friday afternoon sessions will no longer run
🔹 Afternoon sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are moving slightly later to 15:00-16:30
🔹 Our Wednesday supported tier only session is moving to 14:00-16:30, allowing us to offer a better and more varied stock selection
🔹 We’re introducing occasional Saturday and Sunday evening use-by sessions at 20:50, when enough surplus food and volunteers are available
🔹 From Saturday 13th June, supported tier households will also have access to a smaller top-up table during the normal Saturday morning session. Please note only supported tier members can access the top-up table.

Our Saturday and Sunday evening use-by sessions are dependent on surplus availability and volunteer capacity. Updates will only be shared through our WhatsApp channel.

🚧 Building Work Update 🚧

A quick update for our Supported Tier members ahead of tomorrow, Wednesday 20th May.

Unfortunately, there will be no supported top-up table tomorrow while we complete the final stages of our building works. However, we still have a great selection of fresh food available, including ready meals, pasta, gorgonzola, frozen meats and plenty of other items. We will also have toilet rolls available, along with limited access to toiletries.

The good news is that the work is nearly finished and we’re planning to move into the room next door on Friday as part of our expansion plans. From next week, everything should be back to normal and we’re excited to welcome you into the improved space.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we’ve worked through the disruption. We promise it will be worth it! 💚
