For the Community
No one need to go hungry - for people on low income, a sudden crisis: redundancy, benefit delay, debt, delayed wages or sickness can mean going without food.
​
We provide food parcels of non perishable items lasting a minimum of 3 days; a typical food parcel contains cereals, soups, baked beans, tinned tomatoes /potatoes / vegetables / fruits / meat and tinned fish, puddings, biscuits, pasta, rice, tea or coffee, fruit juice, milk and sugar. We also provide toiletries and baby essentials when needed.
​
We endeavour to assist in any way possible by signposting people to agencies able to solve longer-term problems or by setting up, when possible, any other forms of help or guidance as appropriate.
​
We also run a Drop-in Café, open to anyone in the community, offering free tea, coffee, cakes as well as a friendly face and a listening ear.
