To do this, select 'buy' under the ticket that you would like. You'll then need to go to your basket to double check you have selected the correct ticket. If you are happy with your selection, select 'Proceed to Checkout'. You'll then be prompted to enter any dietary requirements you have. Once you have answered this question you will need to click 'confirm' to finalise your booking.
The tickets you see on this page indicate the times that our staff are guranteed to be available to facilitate collection slots. However, if you are in urgent need of accessing a food parcel before any of the available dates, please contact communitypantry@guild.bham.ac.uk and we will try our best to find an alternative time for you.
We understand that many people are feeling the impact of the current cost of living crisis. At your Guild, we believe that no one at UoB should have to go without food or worry about where their next meal will come from.
