Pop in to pick up some food from our "Pay As You Can Pantry" every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am in the porch of 158 Whitley Road. There's a range of fresh fruit and veg, milk, bakery items, tins and dried goods.

Good surplus food is provided to Whitley Bay Big Local by FareShare, Coop and Tesco. Food, donated by both retailers and producers, that would normally go to waste, can be used by disadvantaged people in our community, who otherwise would either have an absence of food or a poor diet. Food is being saved from going to waste thanks to our team of dedicated volunteers. Help us reduce food waste....please share!
