Restart Social Supermarket operates to support families on low incomes living in West Aberdeenshire as they look for a fresh start financially.
How Does It Work?
We operate on a membership basis, with qualifying members being entitled to order food, toiletries, and household items every week with an estimated retail price of up to £10 for each person in their family.
We operate mostly on an online basis, with goods being reserved by members through logging in to the "Shop" section above. Goods are then available either at Click & Collect sessions or by Delivery - with deliveries being arranged by phone following an order having been placed.
As such we offer a discrete and convenient solution for those in our community who are facing financial difficulties.
Our membership fees are based on the number of people in your family and how you receive any goods ordered.
As a member you are entitled to goods with an estimated retail price of £10 each week for each family member, and for that you will pay a Basic Membership Fee of 10% of the value of the goods ordered.
For example a family of 4 can order goods with an estimated retail price of £40 every week, for a Basic Membership Fee of £4.
In addition to the Basic Membership Fees, an extra Home Delivery Fee of £1 per family member is also payable by members choosing the delivery option when ordering.
This should mean that members never pay more than £2 for every £10 of goods ordered.
What Is The Cost?
How Do I Apply?
Membership is intended for those in low or no income households, but other exceptional circumstances will be considered, with applications being assessed by Deeside Compassion on a case by case basis.
In most circumstances membership will be restricted to a period of up to 12 months, during which time members will be expected to engage with other suitable programs offered by Deeside Compassion, for example those which are intended to resource individuals with the skills needed to survive on low incomes.
On a temporary basis the 12 month time restriction and the expectation to engage are suspended due to the cost of living crisis.
An application can be made by completing the form available on the Apply page.
