Our Shopping Service aims to support those people who are struggling to do their own shopping, have no one else nearby to help or cannot do an online shop.

How does the Service work?

Once registered to the service, you can phone the office to place your shopping order.

We will send your list to a volunteer Shopping Buddy, who will go to a nearby supermarket within 2 or 3 working days.

They will buy and then bring the shopping to your doorstep, and will leave the receipt in your shopping bag. They can help unpack if you need.

No cash will be exchanged with the volunteer - we will call you within a few days to take payment via debit or credit card over the telephone. In special circumstances we can take a cheque for payment.

Shopping can be done every week, every 2 weeks, or on an ad hoc basis.
