How you can support us…

Donate items

We rely on your donations to keep our parcels balanced and nutritious. You can drop off items at any of our local collection points.

Donate financially

If you would like to support us but aren’t able to drop off physical items, a financial donation is an incredibly effective way to help. It allows us to buy specific essentials when our cupboard stocks run low, ensuring every family gets exactly what they need.

Volunteer your time

Our team is made up of 30+ friendly locals who believe in the power of a warm welcome. If you’d like to join our rota, whether it’s helping in the café, packing parcels, or offering a listening ear, we would love to hear from you.

Spread the word

Sometimes the best way to help is simply by letting people know we are here. By sharing our opening times and services, you help ensure that no one in our community has to struggle in silence
