A lucky dip food bag is a mixture of ambient and chilled foods that are deemed to be excess for our food hub, and may go to waste.

On average, every bag has at least £15.00 worth of food in it.

No. The food we put into our food bags come from large suppliers and distributors. All public donations of food go into our food parcels which are given out through The CARE Project

Anyone is eligible to receive a Bag a Bargain lucky dip food bag from us. 

Those wishing to get a food bag must come in person to The Parish Trust between 6pm and 7pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays. Bags are given on a first come, first served basis. We have a limited number each week.

Due to popular demand, we sometimes limit the number of bags a person can get. We will do our best to announce this when we place limits.

No - Bag a Bargain is collection only from our charity building.

In order to raise awareness of Bag a Bargain, we often use social media such as Facebook to promote our Bag a Bargain evenings. We use a mixture of Facebook Live and photos to demonstrate the types of foods that will go in our Bag a Bargain bags. 

However, much of the food is of differing quantities. We try to distribute the food as evening as possible, but we cannot guarantee that a particular food item will be included in each Bag a Bargain. It is, as we say, a lucky dip bag.

For reasons of fairness, no. They are packed for you by our volunteers.
