Glenroyd House Community Pantry

This support is particularly important in Consett and the wider County Durham area, where financial hardship and unemployment continue to affect many households. Recent local data records around 9,500 unemployed people aged 16 and over across County Durham, while 34% of children in the Consett area are estimated to live in low-income families.

Glenroyd House Community Pantry supports local individuals and families who are struggling with rising food and household costs. It benefits people on low incomes, those experiencing unemployment, older residents, families with children, people affected by illness or disability, and anyone facing unexpected financial hardship. The pantry provides access to essential food and household items, helping people manage their budgets with dignity and without judgement.

We warmly welcome donations of non-perishable food, toiletries, cleaning products, baby items and other essentials. Every donation, large or small, can make a meaningful difference to a local household.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Aldi, Lidl, Poundland and Tesco for their continued support and generous donations. Their contributions help keep the pantry stocked and enable us to support more people in our community. Together, we can help reduce food poverty, strengthen families and ensure that no one has to face hardship alone.
