Shirebrook food bank opens new community shop thanks to £33,000 grant

The Brook Centre has been at the heart of the community providing help and support to residents for many years but has faced a ‘challenging’ 12 months due to an increase in demand for food during the pandemic.

Now £33,000 worth of grants from Bolsover District Council’s Business Grant Scheme (£10,000) and Bolsover Partnership’s Public Health Locality Funding (£22,000) has allowed the transition from a food bank to a community shop.
