Burgess Hill Foodbank Adds Chilled Goods To Shelves, Thanks To Charity Grant

A newly-opened foodbank in Burgess Hill has received a much-needed grant to allow it to provide chilled goods as part of its fight against food poverty.

The Pantry opened at the end of September. It provides a selection of food up to the value of £20, to top-up the weekly shop, for a weekly membership of just £4.

Local charity, The Budding Foundation, has given The Pantry a grant to enable it to purchase two commercial fridges, to store chilled goods — as well as its usual offering of fresh fruit and veg, store cupboard favourites and bread.

Founded by Clive Gravett, the Sussex charity funds projects which help to improve the lives of children.

Clive said:

"We are pleased to have provided a grant for Burgess Hill Pantry to acquire the fridges.

"What a fantastic service it now provides for those suffering food poverty, and with such a great team of volunteers on hand to make it all happen."
