For the west side of Bury St Edmunds, we run a Community Grocery for those in need, not just to provide food but to restore dignity and revive hope.
Upon registration you are entitled to shop with us three times a week.
A standard £3 shop allows you 7 basic shelf items, 5 portions of fruit or veg, 1 frozen item, 1 bakery item and 1 non-food item. You can add extras to the shop which are priced separately.
Please contact care@bridgecommunitychurch.co.uk to complete a registration form and we can see if the Community Grocery is appropriate for your current needs.

We as a church want to stand alongside those who are struggling, feeling vulnerable or marginalised in that we offer support:
- For seniors and the lonely by providing calls, visits and activities to help people connect with others.
- Through mentoring, coaching and advocacy for vulnerable kids, youth and families when they are going through tough times.
- For those struggling with addiction through teaching, small groups and one to one friendships.
- For homeless men to prepare them for self-supported living.

across the town of
bury st edmunds
Across the town of Bury St Edmunds, we collaborate with other churches, schools, supermarkets, social initiatives, specialist organisations such as BCY and Sporting87. Through these partnerships, we aim to demonstrate the love of Jesus by showing concern for the general and spiritual welfare of people in providing practical help to those who need it in our town.
Beyond Bury St Edmunds
and overseas
Building on the legacy of West Road Church, we support outreach beyond Bury St Edmunds both in the UK and abroad by funding those involved to bring hope to those they serve. This includes student and refuge work in different parts of Europe. Bible translation, literature projects and poverty relief in Africa.
