Olio - Olio is a free sharing app. Predominately focused on reducing food waste, you sign up to the app and can search for free food within a set radius. There are over 10,000 other users in this area. It's not just food, you can also pick up free clothes, toys, toiletries and much more.  https://olioex.com/

Too Good To Go - This is from local businesses, shops and restaurants that have produce near its end date and they sell it at a discounted price to ensure it goes to good use and doesn't end up in landfill. https://toogoodtogo.co.uk/en-gb

Peckham Pantry is a membership scheme that will make your money go further. Members of Peckham Pantry pay £4.50 per shop, which gives access to fresh fruit and veg and store cupboard favourites - to the value of £15. They aim to:

  • Reduce shopping bills
  • Provide relevant advice and support;
  • Operate a Credit Union savings scheme;
  • And create opportunities for members to be more active in their community.

Based at St. Luke’s Church, Chandler Way, and 49-52 Peckham Park Road, the Peckham Pantry is a joint initiative between St. Luke’s, Pecan and Your Local Pantry. For further information on scheme membership - or on volunteering to help us out - please contact Temi Okudiya on either pantry@pecan.org.uk or 020 7277 7075.
