The Uttlesford District Mobile Community Supermarket is a new partnership initiative between UCAN and The Active Wellbeing Society. Commissioned by Essex County Council and Uttlesford District Council, our new mobile supermarket is bringing affordable food to the communities of South Uttlesford
The Uttlesford Mobile Community Supermarket works on a two-week rolling schedule, making fortnightly 2-hour stops at 8 different locations. It will offer various basics and some popular favourites at a cost-effective price. The scheme is free to join and when you sign up you will receive a Wellbeing Card which you can bring along each time you shop. The supermarket is intended to offer a helping hand and keep more pounds in pockets. Payment can be made by cash or by card.
This project is delivered by The Active Wellbeing Society and Uttlesford Community Action Network, working collaboratively with Uttlesford Foodbank and TouchPoint.
