Oldcastle Primary, in partnership with Baobab Bach, supporting the community with weekly groceries.
The school is very keen to act as a hub and provide reduced cost food to families. Baobab Bach is an established organisation working with local organisations and volunteers to build and help sustain community pantries that provide a helping hand to those that need it. The organisation aims to promote good mental health, support the environment and eradicate food waste.
Baobab Bach provides surplus supermarket food and parents can pop into our community room and fill a bag with 15 items for £5.
To purchase a bag, participants should be a member of the Baobab Bach pantry scheme which costs £1 for life. Membership cards are available from Oldcastle Primary School.
We have been fortunate to receive further funding that allows us to top up our food pantry with fresh food on a weekly basis.
The pantry is open to all and we encourage all our parents and carers to make use of the facility.
In partnership with Grace & Green, a leading provider of eco-friendly period products, BCBC have arranged for residents under 25 in the county borough to directly receive products to their home or pick up at a collection point, ensuring individuals can manage their periods with dignity and confidence.
