FreeShop Crawley

About this service

FreeShop Crawley supports people in Crawley who are facing financial hardship by providing free food, toiletries, essentials and wider practical support. Its website describes a range of local help, including its Free Shop offer, community activities, workshops and one-to-one support designed to help people get back on track. Because the service is clearly rooted in Crawley and aimed at local households, it should appear in local Crawley support rather than only under wider West Sussex support.
