Building on the strong foundation established by the Alford Hub, our Alford site represents an exciting expansion for The Community Table CIC. We are bringing together trusted local community services with our proven Social Supermarket model to create a comprehensive, multi-service community hub for Alford and its surrounding rural villages.

By combining wrap-around family support—including the Uniform Bank, Baby Bank, and Wellbeing Outreach—with affordable, dignified food access, our Alford location ensures that practical assistance, warmth, and connection are always available under one roof.

What You’ll Find at the Alford Hub

• Social Supermarket: Point-based grocery shopping offering fresh produce, chilled items, bakery goods, and cupboard staples at a fraction of retail prices.

• Baby & Uniform Banks: Essential schoolwear, nursery equipment, and infant supplies to support local families through every stage of growth.

• Outreach & Wellbeing Support: One-to-one help with Blue Badge applications, bus passes, online forms, and guidance on local support networks.

• Crisis & Agency Referrals: Direct, confidential support pathways for individuals and families referred through domestic abuse support teams, health visitors, and partner agencies.

• Community Reinvestment: As an asset-locked social enterprise, every micro-revenue surplus generated through our shop feeds directly back into maintaining vital local services.
