Please note- Helping Hands Pantry is based upstairs at St Paul’s Church, accessible only via stairs- however the Pantry Team are committed to making the Pantry an accessible and inclusive place for all. Below are the plans for starting this in 2024:

  • We will provide an assistance bell outside of the pantry, should you require support from a team member
  • We will provide electronic tablets where members who cannot access the Pantry physically can see and choose their food items for the week if required, with support from the team
  • The Pantry team can support with bagging your chosen items and assistance with bags to your vehicle

In January 2025 we will collect feedback from members and the local community regarding accessibility of the Pantry to co-produce a long-term accessibility strategy. Your feedback is so welcome and your voice on this matters- if you have any comments or would like to discuss further please email [email protected]
