Practical advice on supporting your child and managing behaviour
The Pioneers Pantry is a pop-in shop open on Friday afternoons for local residents living in poverty, stocking a range of store cupboard essentials along with fresh products and toiletries.
Unlike a regular shop, the Pantry is member-owned and run solely by volunteers. Membership is just £1, which includes a card and canvas shopping bag, and £2.50 thereafter when users visit the Pantry.
