Community Food Shop Update
We are pleased to announce that, starting Thursday 12 September 2024, our community food shop will be operated by People Arise Now, a dynamic and well-respected charity known for its dedication in supporting families, young people, and those at risk of or affected by crime.
What to Expect
We want to reassure all our residents that the food shop will continue to operate as it currently does. On Thursday 12 September 2024, there will be someone from SHP at the shop to assist both new and existing customers with filling out referral forms. This is part of our effort to ensure a smooth and supportive transition.
Looking ahead, People Arise Now plans to enhance the food shop by introducing a more diverse range of food options and expanding the service to reach more residents across Sutton.
