About The Club
Groundwork is a local charity that supports residents across the region. We have seen how the cost-of-living crisis is impacting on local people. One of the initiatives we are developing to support struggling households is a Meat Buying Club. Membership is open to anyone who wants access to affordable, quality food. Including:
- Low-income households
- Families, individuals, and households looking to save money
We are excited to be working with Nick Robins Butchers, an established local butcher based on Hessle Road. This traditional butcher’s shop sells high-quality local meat, butchered on site.
The initial pilot phase will focus on smaller households that are unable to benefit from supermarket bulk purchase offers and discounts. During the pilot phase, households can sign up for an initial two-week trial, and if you’re happy, you can sign up to become a fully pledged member.
How It Works
- Meat packs will be provided weekly on a Thursday
- Payment is required by 2:00 pm on a Monday for a Thursday collection that same week.
Membership Benefits
Members can choose from one of the great-value weekly meat packs:
Meat Pack 1 – £10.50
- 2 chicken fillets (individually wrapped)
- 500g minced pork (2 × 250g packs)
- 6 thin sausages

Meat Pack 2 – £13.50
- 2 chicken fillets (individually wrapped)
- 500g best minced beef (2 × 250g packs)

As well as benefiting from high quality affordable meat club members will also receive free of charge:
- A weekly meal planner
- A shopping list with ingredients and step-by-step instructions for preparing meals with their ingredients throughout the week
- Cooking on a Budget recipe booklet with easy, affordable recipes

Resources will help you make the most of your meat pack, reduce waste, and eat well for less.
