Our Services

We support individuals and families in our community who are experiencing financial hardship or difficult life circumstances.

 

 

  • Provide financial literacy guidance and practical money management skills


  • We recognise that food poverty is usually caused by lack of income rather than lack of food, and our aim is to help households stabilise their situation as quickly as possible.


  • Alongside providing food, we prioritise helping people increase their income and access the financial support available to them. When someone comes to us in crisis, we work with them to identify and secure any assistance they may be entitled to, including welfare benefits, crisis grants, and energy or housing support. We actively refer and connect people to specialist advice services such as Citizens Advice and local authority welfare teams.


  • Food support is provided as immediate short-term relief, but our priority is to address the underlying causes of hardship. We support people to maximise their income, resolve benefit issues, and access appropriate services so they can return to shopping independently and with dignity.


  • Our Community food drive also offers affordable food, social connection, and signposting to wider support, helping to prevent crisis before it occurs.Through this combined approach, we aim not only to relieve hunger today but to prevent hunger in the future.
