Darlington community grocery opens ‘to help with cost of living’

Gemma Burton was among those signing up as a member.

“Everyone seems to be struggling now. You’ve got to watch your pennies wherever you go. If you can save a bit then it helps,” she said.

“I think it will help, especially as it’s in the heart of the community.

“It’s very welcome [at this time of year]. It means people can actually have their heating on if they’re balancing costs by getting their food a bit cheaper.”

The Community Grocery is a partnership between the Baptist church and Christian organisation The Message Trust, and is the latest of more than 20 across the country.

As well as discounted food, members are able to access courses providing support with things such as cooking and money management.
