About this cause

We're a group who want to engage in poverty relief among the most vulnerable communities, befriending those in need to stimulate sustainable change. We work with vulnerable people who daily have to make decisions between heat, electricity or food. Providing a hot meal, clothing, or food parcels offers short-term relief, while our outreach team deliver longer-term support, advice and befriending.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The support given throughout our Foodbank+ network has always been about more than food; it is about welcoming people into a community and providing whatever support each individual person needs, if they want our help. We provide support past the point of food crisis to inspire change in those who need support to work through their current circumstances to enable a more resilient future.
