School Holiday Ambassadors Needed!
At the Peckham Pantry we rely on our ambassadors to deliver our services in promoting choice and dignity. We are constantly in need of volunteers to enable us to provide focused customer support to our community.
Meet Samina, Peckham Pantry shopper turned volunteer. She’s one of hundreds of inspiring stories from @yourlocalpantry projects all over the country.

More about Your Local Pantry
by James Henderson, Church Action on Poverty
“We have been delighted to see the number of Pantries steadily increasing in and around London, and hope to see more open soon” says James Henderson, Network Development Coordinator for the Your Local Pantry national team.
“Since the first London Pantry started in Peckham, over the years we have seen a steady increase, so that we now have 9 Pantry sites across Greater London. With an estimated population of 8.8 million people, we know that we need more Pantries in and around London but getting good and sustainable food supplies is really difficult at the moment.”
James explains that the next Pantry in development is in partnership with a church in Croydon and should be opening in the early autumn.
