🧺 CALM CUPBOARD CHECK
Friday is a good moment to build sensible household readiness gradually, without panic buying or mass purchasing.
💧 Keep some water available for preparing dry foods, alongside a manual tin opener for canned goods.
🍲 Consider a safe backup cooking method, familiar comfort foods, coffee, tea and seasonings that help everyday meals feel normal.
🥫 Add canned goods slowly as part of your ordinary shop, choosing items your household will actually use and supporting local food initiatives where possible.
📦 Store supplies in suitable food grade containers, label packing dates clearly and follow tested food storage methods.
⚠️ Never use oxygen absorbers with moist foods, and verify local information through trusted, up to date sources before acting on advice.
For a practical starting point, see the Be Prepared: 30 Day Food Storage Checklists.
🏫 SCHOOL CORNER & PTA NOTICEBOARD
This standing space is reserved for verified Croydon primary school and PTA fairs, bake sales and fundraiser discos, helping families discover the good work happening close to home.
Notices remain short, clear and community focused, so school activities can reach local families without losing sight of the people and causes they support.
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
The historic Walnut Fair was one of three major Croydon trade and pleasure fairs dating back to 1314, inspiring today’s Croydon Harvest across the town centre.
