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 students are back! And with the influx of activity Kingsgate Student Pantry have asked us to support the foodbank by doing a stock take of the food so they can better plan donations and requests for more items. If you're good at counting and moving boxes then this is the task for you!

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. Don't forget to bring your head torch as it will be dark.

We will meet at 6.30pm at the Quaker Centre and run 2.8km to Kingsgate Church, 161a Clarence Street, KT1 1QT for 7pm. After the task we will run another 2.8km back to the Quaker Centre. It's our social eve so please join us in The Albion for drink/food after the task from 8pm.

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.
