Arun and Chichester

We are working with the Arun and Chichester Food Partnership and UK Harvest to develop Affordable Food Clubs. These projects offer nutritious food at an affordable price for households who might otherwise be at risk of hunger. We are also working with local partners to offer expert advice sessions within food projects, to help address the wider issues that people may be facing. This is part of our Pathways from Poverty programme.

Affordable food clubs in this area include the UK Harvest Pop-Up Pantries in Bognor, East Wittering, Graylingwell, Haywards Heath, Midhurst, Oving, Parklands, Portfield, Selsey, Storrington, Tangmere, Whyke and Worthing. Find out more including opening times and locations here.
