Staffed by volunteers our foodbank offers emergency support for people in need. Our clients are able to visit once every two weeks. We ask for proof of address and proof of benefits that the client receives. We are supported with donations of money and food from members of the community, the church and other local churches, local schools, local allotments, members of various groups that use our premises for a variety of activities. We also additionally receive grant funding. If you would like to donate, even a small amount please use the file attachment which will open a QR code. Donations of non-perishable food are welcome and can be left in the Church Hall foyer. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering your precious time. Thank you.
