BWC Cornershop is opening 1st July

After years of running our essential foodbank through our Support Hubs, BWC is pleased to announce that our newly remodelled food support initiative is opening on the 1^st July 2026.

Called The BWC Cornershop and operating from BWC headquarters on Morley Street Brighton, the new model is a social supermarket, allowing women to choose their own items, and empowering them to make their own food choices. Our sustainable, low-cost mini market is designed to provide food support in a way that offers greater choice, dignity and flexibility for anyone using our services.

When: Every Monday and Wednesday, 10:00am – 12:00pm

Where: Brighton Women’s Centre, Globe House, 3 Morley Street, Brighton, BN2 9RA

How to Book: Please book your appointment here. Appointments are 15 minutes long and can be made once every two weeks.

How the BWC Cornershop Works

The BWC Cornershop is a community supermarket-style food support service. Instead of receiving a pre-packed food parcel, you’ll be able to choose the items that best meet your needs, creating a more familiar and empowering shopping experience

Our shelves will be stocked with a range of essential food items, including:

• Tins, cartons and long shelf-life cupboard staples
• Bread
• Fresh and Frozen food
• A selection of gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and other dietary options where available

As part of our sustainable food support model, there is a small charge for goods purchased from the Cornershop. Card and Cash are both excepted.

• £3 for any 8 items
• £5 for any 12 items

This contribution helps us maintain and develop the service while continuing to provide affordable access to food support.
