Who this task will support
Kingsgate Student Pantry
National research as well as student survey data from the university demonstrate a need to support students, many of whom are affected by the cost-of-living pressures. This first-come, first-serve weekly pantry charges only £5 for £25’s worth of food, personal hygiene and essential household cleaning items. Feel free to pop by for a tea or coffee whilst picking up your groceries, or tune into the live healthy budget cooking demonstrations and access the optional pastoral support and signposting to additional services available.

The student foodbank at Kingsgate Church will be packing up for the summer break. They have provided a great service over the last year and now it’s coming to the end of the year for students. The students will be celebrating their final exams and packing to go home so there is a natural break.

The fridges and freezers will be emptied and will need a good wipe down. There may be some moving around or tidying of tins and packets to make sure it’s all sorted. Anything we can do to help the foodbank close up for the summer.

This is a great GoodGym starter session so please come along if you want to try GoodGym and haven't already done so. We are a friendly bunch so please come and join us.

We will meet at 6.30pm at the Quaker Centre and run 2.5km to Kingsgate Church, 161a Clarence Street, KT1 1QT for 7pm. After the task we will run another 2.5km back to the Quaker Centre.
