We’re working with our partner Venner 
to produce a five-day recipe box for customers who are struggling to access food but don’t have community pantries or larders in their area.
To do this, we’re looking for customers across our geography to do a short trial of three boxes, with one delivered every four weeks over eight weeks, so we can use their feedback to influence how the service works.
What’s in the box?
- Fresh plant-based ingredients and any seasonings from the recipe (no meat, although you can add this yourself if you’d like).
- Enough food to make breakfast for the kids, then snacks and dinner for up to four people for five days.
- Recipe cards for each meal.
- Access to online support on boosting your nutrition habits, food tips and tricks, more plant-based recipes for making healthy meals easy and affordable and much more.
Each box is delivered directly to the person’s address on a Tuesday. If they’re not in, it will be left in a designated safe place.
Who can apply for the trial and what’s involved?
- Any SNG customer can apply unless they have already received a funded pantry membership from us.
- You don’t need to be a family of four – if you live alone, for example, you can still apply.
- Be confident you will commit to using all the ingredients over the five days from each box, as well as using the online food education platform, so you can give us a real first-hand experience after using each box.
- Don’t have any food allergies or intolerances – we aren’t able to provide specialised nutrition or guarantee allergens aren’t present in the ingredients (for example, gluten-free).
- Be happy for us to pass your details to Venner, who will be organising and delivering the boxes. You’ll give your feedback to SNG.
