The Safety Net: Nadine and the Mission of 'Chance Changing Lives

What happens when the cost of living hits home in Crewe? As the manager of Chance Changing Lives, Nadine is on the front lines of supporting our community through the Community Pantry and the Saturday Kitchen.

In this episode, we sit down to discuss the reality of food poverty in 2026, the importance of 'shopping with dignity,' and the incredible volunteers who keep the doors open. It’s a raw, honest look at the challenges facing Crewe—and the people who refuse to let their neighbours fall through the cracks.


  • The Community Pantry: How it’s a "membership" store (not a food bank) to help people feel like shoppers, not statistics.

  • The Saturday Kitchen: Their work at Jubilee House feeding the homeless and vulnerable.

  • The "Working Poor": Nadine often speaks about how many people using the service actually have jobs but still can't make ends meet.

  • Volunteer Spirit: The "unsung heroes" who help sort the food from partners like Aldi and M&S.


    Website: chancechanginglives.org Location: 11-13 Coronation Crescent, Crewe.
