What We Do

Launched in 2021 at our Mansfield Campus, the Food Club was established to address the evident needs within our community of food insecurity.

Thanks to grants and donations, we’ve equipped a new kitchen and storage space, enabling both the Food Club and Care for a Coffee to thrive. The Arena Mansfield Food Club and Community Shop provides essential food and other items to those in need at extremely discounted prices. We welcome everyone from our community.

With 80 members, our Food Club provides affordable food support to people experiencing financial difficulty. From January to June 2025, 324 food parcels were provided, with 70% of regular attendees being single men. NHS staff and Nottinghamshire County Council support workers also refer people in need to the Food Club.

Transforming Lives

“I’ve been coming to the Food Club for a year now. Living on my own for quite a while, the Food Club helps me manage my money. The food I get can feed me nearly all week. There’s a really good choice that changes every week, and it’s excellent value for money.”
