Hello everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to share something close to my heart—the incredible work happening at Botcherby Community Association in Carlisle in Cumbria. While I don’t often shout about it, today feels like the right time to do so.
Our dedicated team, led by the hardworking Helen (our center manager) and Marion (our center assistant), has been making a significant impact. This week, we welcomed 82 people to our Weekly Pop-Up Pantry, ensuring that each one left with something good. 🛒
It fills me with pride to see our community come together to support those in need. But it also saddens me that so many people require this vital assistance. The truth is, life can be tough, and sometimes a helping hand makes all the difference.
Here’s what you need to know about our Pop-Up Pantry:
- Affordable Access: For just £3.50, families can choose from a variety of 10 items. Our pantry is specifically designed to support low-income households.
- Nutritious Selection: We offer everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to frozen goods and occasional treats.
- No Referral Needed: Anyone can access the pantry—no referrals required. We’re here for you.
Join us every Wednesday from 12 pm to 3 pm at the Botcherby Community Centre (Victoria Road, Carlisle, CA1 2UE). Our community center cafe is where the magic happens.
Let’s continue to lift each other up, one meal at a time. Thank you for being part of this journey.
Warm regards,
Chloe Brownlee-Chapman Chair, Botcherby Community Association
