Wednesday 1 November say the official opening of Wymondham’s Community Food Shop.  The Shop, run by Hub Community Project, provides free and discounted food to anyone in need in the community.

The shop was formally opened by Suzanne Nuri-Nixon, the Mayor of Wymondham,  and amongst those attending were representatives from:

• Morgan Sindall who donated the groundworks, access ramp and railings

• Norfolk Community Foundation who provided the majority of the funding

• Morrisons, One Stop, Waitrrose, Silfield CO-OP and Lidl who donate some food supplies

• The team of volunteers who serve selflessly

• Hope Community Church who have supported the project in many ways

The shop is one of 25 food hubs in Norfolk operating under the banner of Nourishing Norfolk and is open 9.15 – 10.45 am on Tuesdays and 2.00 pm – 4.00 pm on Thursdays.  There is plenty of free parking at the site on Ayton Road, Wymondham, NR18 0QJ (next to Wymondham Furniture Warehouse). 

Shoppers have access to free fruit, vegetables, bread, items for babies and ladies’ sanitary items.  All other food (chilled, frozen and shelf life) is 50% cheaper than average supermarket prices which enables families to stretch their budgets.  Cash and card payments are accepted.

On Tuesday mornings there is a warm space for shoppers to have free coffee & pastries, chat to friends and access further help from the friendly team of volunteers. 

For those shoppers joining as members there are additional benefits including free birthday cakes for children, priority consideration for a free Christmas lunch hamper & free Christmas toys, access to grant funding (subject to availability and qualifying conditions).

We are excited to be celebrating our 10th Anniversary!

We are so grateful to the army of volunteers who have served us (and continue to do so)  and allowed us to provide a range of projects for our community.  In the last ten years we have seen the numbers of people coming along to the projects grow.  Some may remember Hoppers operating out of a mobile at Ashleigh school before we acquired the premises in Fairland Street and now, of course, the new premises on Ayton Road afford us so much more space, with free parking and facilities for disabled people.

You are invited to join us at our celebratory Fun Day on Saturday 21 September, 10.30 am at The Hub. Entry is free and there will be lots to entertain you and your children – we hope to see you there!

Fancy a cuppa?
