Orford Community Grocery to close from 5 November
The operator has announced the closure and pointed members towards other food-support services.
Warrington Community Grocery says its Orford store will close from Thursday 5 November 2026. The shop operates at LifeChurch on Cotswold Road through a partnership with The Message Trust.
The announcement thanks members and volunteers but gives no reason for the closure. It directs people needing other support to Warrington Voluntary Action’s community food directory.
Suggested alternatives include The Bread and Butter Thing, Community Shop, Vantry, The Little Shop and Heritage Family Support Community Food Store. Residents should check each service’s eligibility and collection arrangements.
Existing Community Grocery memberships can also be used at other stores in its network, according to the operator.
