HOW DOES THE HCRC COMMUNITY ESSENTIALS WORK?

 On your first day, you’ll pay a one-off payment of £5 to register for the whole year. A

member’s card will be issued to you on that day. If you choose to shop that day, you’ll

pay a further £5 to do a shopping worth of £15.

 You’ll pay £5 every time you choose to shop at the Community Essentials.

 Your £5 will allow you to choose a maximum of 12 items on the shelves such as

bread, fruits, vegetables, tinned food as well as items in the fridge and chest freezer.

For instance, 3 apples may mean 1 item out of the 12 items you are entitled to.

the quantity). A carton of 15 eggs may mean 3 items…
