"There can be a stigma attached to accessing a food bank, so calling it The Pantry was a considered action by Natasha to make it a place where people can go to get the things they need, from food to uniform." A Brighton teacher who helps struggling local families with clothes and food, raises money in charity fun runs and regularly dons fancy dress to read to children at local events has been nominated in a national Teacher of the Year competition. She set up The Pantry while training as a teacher, making it a safe, non-shameful place for families to get food, uniform and other essentials. https://magazine.brighton.co.uk/Noticeboard/Brighton-News/Force-For-Good-Brighton-Teacher-Who-Set-Up-Community-Pantry-Nominated-For-National-Teacher-Of-The-Year-Award/39_111_7234
