Community Cupboard - A13, Furness College

We understand that times are hard and we would like to support our students that need it the most. Our community cupboard is available for those students experiencing financial difficulties and unable to buy essentials such as food and toiletries.

The cupboard is not open access, this is to ensure we can support those who need it the most. The community cupboard is located in the A13, Furness College Office.

If you need support please come and speak to a member of staff in the college, we can provide some items from the cupboard and discuss additional avenues of support.
