The Burntwood Be A Friend Community Store

The Burntwood Be A Friend Community Store at Sankey’s Corner has been backed by almost £10,000 of National Lottery funding.

It will see members able to choose a set number of items from a range of surplus food from local supermarkets and FareShare.

Steph O’Shea, who has coordinated the project, said:

> “We’re delighted that The National Lottery Community Fund has recognised our work in this way.  
>  
> “Food isn’t the only focus, we want to be here for the long-term, building people up, helping with wellbeing and connecting them to other community activities and local organisations.   
>  
> Steph O’Shea

The store opens on Monday (8th November) and will initially open twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 10.30am until 2-30pm.
