Brick Project - Brick Food

We operate a Food Community in the heart of Wigan at St Georges Church, Water Street.

We are not a food bank, although we do sometimes provide emergency food; but we believe in the right to good, healthy nutritional food that starts with choice and dignity.

Our food community is laid out like a shop and members can choose their items for a small fee including fresh, refrigerated, frozen and long-life foods.

As well as affordable food, our members can access additional support and signposting services. We run free of charge cookery classes in partnership with Wigan Council and Safer Streets.

How to access:

To sign up to be a member of our food Community, all you need to do is visit us at St Georges Church and let one of our team know it’s your first time.

We will then get you a form to fill in and explain all about how the community works. All you need to do bring £5 for your annual membership fee, and a couple of shopping bags to put your £5 shop in and then start shopping. It’s as simple as that!

Once you’re a member you can come along to the Food Community once a week and fill up your basket. There are also free of charge optional extras available such as cleaning products and sanitary products
