Food bank support
Emergency food parcels for individuals and families who need immediate help.
Anyone referred to us through a local agency, school or health service can collect a food parcel with no questions asked. We keep parcels simple and practical, with enough tinned and dried food for a few days along with basics like tea, pasta sauce and washing powder.
Volunteers sort and pack donations from local shops, churches and individual supporters every week. We try to include fresh items such as bread and vegetables whenever we have them and we always ask about dietary needs and allergies before a parcel goes out.
For people who need ongoing support we can arrange regular collections and put them in touch with our welfare advice team, so a short term problem does not turn into a longer one.
