People in our local community are going hungry, and this shouldn't be the case. Many families face food insecurity due to the cost of living crisis, but emergency food alone isn't enough. Without access to advice on benefits, debt, housing, and employment, people remain trapped in poverty cycles. Our partnership with advice services at our food bank outlets helps people achieve food security and financial independence, but we need funding to continue this vital work throughout 2027.

We provide emergency food parcels and essential items through our six hubs, but our real strength lies in our partnership with advice services like Citizens Advice. By offering access to expert advice on benefits, debt, housing, and employment at our food bank locations, we help people address the root causes of food insecurity. This holistic approach moves people beyond emergency support towards food security and financial independence. Our ultimate aim is to end the need for food banks.
