"The Duchess of Edinburgh has been shopping, popping into the United Kingdom’s first social supermarket to learn more about food insecurity and the community initiative to help curb it.
At Community Shop’s Lambeth location, Sophie saw firsthand how the social supermarket works to support its customers through the sale of surplus products—which have been donated at a deep discount by food industry partners—to nourish them and support the wider community more sustainably.
According to Community Shop’s website, they achieve this through the shop itself, but also through the use of a social hub and a social kitchen, where they help train and teach people through social development programs and also offer quality, low-cost meals to those who need them."
