What the charity does

We provide emergency food parcels to clients in need who have been referred to us by partner referral agencies. We provide access to information and signposting to relevant services and organisations who can assist. As part of the Trussell Trust national network of foodbanks we also campaign for policy change to prevent the need for emergency food aid.
