WE WON!!
We were finalised in 3 categories this year at The National Business Awards, held at Wembley Stadium.
We were honoured to be awarded with the Gold Award for Best Sustainable Business in the UK!
An incredible honour and an amazing achievement for us!
Our stores
Did you know that we have two stores in the centre of Huntingdon. The Pantry is designed to provide independent access to affordable food and The Attic is there to provide access to affordable clothes and homeware.
Both stores were designed to bridge dignity gaps across the wider community and be the next step into moving people forward and away from emergency support.
Our stores do much more than that though!
All the monies raised in each store are reinvested back into the community. This means all funds raised support people with
– Emergency food
– Clothing
– Support for rough sleepers
– Support for care leavers
– Expectant mothers
– Birthday and Christmas present support
– Provide household items
– School uniform
– Support local farms
– Provide essential work placements and skill building
We do all of that for FREE – so all money raised is truly essential and without it, we wouldn’t be able to provide those crucial services to so many in need.
Please do visit our stores and help us to help many others.
We are for the people and the planet, for the community, not for profit.
Christmas Market and Light Switch On
The lights were switched on this month during the Christmas market in Huntingdon.
We attended and were able to raise over £200 for our organisation.
All these pennies really do make such a huge difference to the work we do in and around the community!
Giving Tree!
Our Giving Tree has been launched!
Help us to deliver smiles to children, care leavers and families this year.
All you need to do is choose a tag, purchase a gift and return unwrapped to either of our stores.
We will then be delivering these gifts from the 13th December.
Christmas Reverse Advent
Please help us generate as many Christmas donations as possible by taking part in our Christmas reverse advent calendar.
Collect all the items on the list throughout November and drop off to either of our stores at the beginning of December.
We then use these items to provide to families in need over the Christmas period.
Santa visits the attic this month!
We have a special visit this month from the big guy in red!
Santa will be here for one day only in our grotto, where he will be ready to greet children and give them a gift for just £3 a head!
Do get booked in as spaces are filling up fast!
November stats!
Just like many others, November was hugely successful in terms of the support we could offer and the people we managed to help.
We supplied 5,439 meals to people through our food hampers, across the wider community.
We have rescued an incredible 19.2 tonnes of food waste, which has generated approximately 44,294 meals! This is through our redirected waste in our Pantry store!
We saved a whopping 32,640kg (PPM) of Co2!
We prevented an incredible £15,360 worth of food from rotting in landfill!
We have helped 72 families improve their situations, by finding longer term solutions to shape brighter and more sustainable futures.
We continue to work in friendship with partners Social Echo, to help eliminate the need for food aid and strive to live in a world where EVERYONE can afford to shop and live independent
