Social supermarkets typically redistribute food surplus through a membership scheme which provides a certain amount of food items each visit for a set weekly or monthly fee. Typical weekly fees range from £2.50-£5, which gives members access to different categories of food up to a value of £15-£25 per week.
There are also discount social supermarkets which tend to offer members other support services, such as employment or financial advice, and aim to make a wider social impact, for example improving health and well-being and/or reducing social isolation.
We are not aware of any plans for a social supermarket in the Exeter area.
