Food & Family Support
We provide food parcels and essentials, support community food projects, and connect families with services that can help over the longer term.
Overview
Any family can go through a difficult period. Our food and family support work offers practical help quickly and respectfully, without long forms or judgement.
Alongside immediate help, we connect families with advice services so short-term support can lead to longer-term stability.
What we do
Food parcels
Weekly parcels of fresh and long-life food, packed by volunteers.
Essentials
Hygiene products, baby supplies, and school uniforms when needed.
Advice referrals
Connections to local advice on housing, benefits, and employment.
Community food projects
Support for shared meals and community food initiatives.
Focus areas
Family Support
A named volunteer coordinator helps each family identify what would help most, from essentials to referrals for specialist advice.
Working with communities
We work with local food suppliers, schools, and advice services to make sure help reaches families who need it.
Families are asked how support can be improved, and changes are shared back with them at community meetings.
