A social supermarket is being launched in Charnwood to help people access affordable shopping and support.

Your Store is being created by a partnership involving Charnwood Borough Council, John Storer Charnwood, The Bridge and Charnwood Food Poverty Group.

Located at John Storer House in Loughborough, Your Store will help people currently using foodbanks become more independent by offering food at discounted prices. Support will also be offered across a wide range of areas including mental health, debt advice and budgeting.

Customers will initially be identified by the Charnwood Food Poverty Group and Your Store is aiming to open its doors to its first customers in August.
