Duston Parish Council: Community Events & Room Hire

18/06/2026

🛒 The McCarthy-Dixon Mobile Community Shop will be at Duston Community Centre tomorrow! 🛒

🗓 Friday 19th June
⏰ 12:30pm – 2:00pm
📍 Duston Community Centre, Pendle Road, NN5 6DT

The Mobile Community Shop helps bring affordable food and essentials into the local community.

Instead of each item having a price in pounds, everything is given a points value between 1 and 5.
You can buy:
• 9 points for £5
• 18 points for £10

Those points can then be exchanged for items in the shop, helping customers save around 50% on their weekly essentials compared to a typical supermarket shop.

There are also pre-packed fresh fruit and vegetable bags available for £2.50, alongside some individually priced larger items and multi-packs.

Please feel free to share with anyone who may find this useful.
