Newark Foodbank (newark.foodbank.org.uk)
We have collection points in a few of our villages:
- In Collingham you can leave items at the Co-op.
- In Winthorpe, you can leave items at the church and the Lord Nelson pub, when they’re open, and in the black swing bin by the front door at 11 Gainsborough Road.
- At South Scarle, a food bank collection point is available in church when coffee mornings are held (after the Saturday morning Holy Communion).
The items most needed change on a monthly basis. Please see the Newark Foodbank Donate page for an up-to-date shopping list.
Collingham Area Pantry
Created in response to the Covid pandemic which resulted in financial hardship for some, Collingham Area Pantry serves all East Trent villages. Donations can be delivered to the old Co-op building opposite the pharmacy between 10am and midday on Tuesdays, or left in the donation box in the new Co-op by the exit. The latest list of goods most needed is posted on the door.
