Affordable food hub launches in South Kesteven

A national charity, The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) is launching its third food hub in Lincolnshire, bringing fresh, healthy affordable food to the area’s low income communities.

Funded by South Kesteven District Council’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), and Comic Relief, the new hub will open at 1pm on Friday 9th August at West Grantham Community Centre.

This is in addition to sister hubs already operating out of Market Deeping and Stamford.

Cllr Rhea Rayside, SKDC Cabinet Member for People and Communities, said: “We are committed to supporting anyone who’s struggling in South Kesteven so it’s great to be working with The Bread and Butter Thing on the launch of their latest hub.

“If you’re looking for fresh, healthy, food that eases the strain on the purse strings, we urge you to come and check out any of their food hubs. We are very fortunate to have them here at a time when so many families are struggling.”

TBBT Chief Executive Mark Game said: “We’re delighted to be working with SKDC again and expanding our Lincolnshire offering.

“We’re all about helping food budgets go further by providing our members with nutritious food that doesn’t break the bank.

“We’re on a mission to make sure everyone has access to great food, improve diets, strengthen struggling communities and help save money. Our members tell us they can save up to £35 a week by shopping with us, which frees up budget for other household priorities.”

At its weekly hubs, TBBT members can collect three bags of fruit and vegetables, chilled food and cupboard staples at discounted prices, to feed their families, improve their diets and save money for other household priorities.

Members pay £5 for a single bag, £8.50 for a three-bag family package or £17 for a large family package of six bags. It is a low-cost weekly shop that provides essential produce for family eating – fresh fruit and veg, fridge favourites and cupboard staples that allow members to eat better and cook more.
