Coxhoe and Area Community Pantry is open for you to ‘pay as you feel’ for a range of fresh, cupboard, chilled and frozen items. The Pantry is open on Monday mornings and Thursday evenings at Coxhoe Village Hall.

We will always welcome new volunteers to help out with the sessions and some of the other tasks which keep the pantry operating, so please contact us if you are interested in volunteering with our friendly team.

Coxhoe Parish Council Youth Clubs are again providing face to face activities. These are limited in numbers due to measures to protect against the coronavirus, therefore it is essential that each young person is booked into each session.

A special thank you this week with it being National Volunteers Week to our volunteers with Coxhoe Cares who continue to provide support for those in our villages who have struggled due to the pandemic. Our wonderful volunteers continue to make weekly phone calls to people for a friendly chat, and do shopping as and when required.

Also a big thank you to all our brilliant volunteers with Coxhoe and Area Community Pantry and Foodbank, working out of Coxhoe Village Hall, to support residents in need and help to reduce food wastage by distributing surplus affordable food.

 

The Parish Council would like to say a special thank you to all the volunteers who have done so much in 2020 and the continued and additional support in 2021.

Thank you to you all.
