Social supermarkets

Here are some social supermarkets in Norwich:
- ENYP
- The Feed
- SOUL Foundation
- Earlham Community Shop
- Phoenix Larder
- Magdalen Street Pantry – by appointment only
Each one may have different prices, membership rules and stock.
Free school meals
Children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 automatically get free school meals there is no need to apply.
If you receive certain benefits, you should still register to make sure your child gets all the support available.
To check if you're eligible and apply, visit the Norfolk County Council website. You’ll need a Norfolk Education Online (NEO) account, which you can also use for childcare funding and school admissions.
