Save Peckham Pantry: A Lifeline for Southwark Residents & Blueprint for Food Justice

Peckham Pantry is more than just a shop; it is a cornerstone of our community. For just £5, members can access a shop worth approximately £20 to £30. This isn't just about food; it’s about providing hundreds of residents in Southwark and beyond with dignity, choice, healthy nutrition and support during an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis.

Currently, this vital service is at risk and we ask Southwark Council and the government to intervene and help fund the service. 

If we lose the Pantry, we lose a system that saves residents hundreds of pounds a month and prevents tonnes of quality food from going to waste. We cannot allow our neighbours to fall into deeper food insecurity.

Hundreds of people in Southwark and beyond have benefited greatly from Peckham Pantry and have saved them at their moment of need. Let's not lose this service and try to make it a blueprint for how community pantries and food banks should operate.

By signing this petition, you are demanding that Southwark Council and the Government secure the future of Peckham Pantry. Help us protect our community’s right to eat well and live with dignity.
