02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Help those facing hardship within the Stirling council area. This was initially done with Starter Packs, working alongside Stirling Council. Then we opened up Foodbanks providing crisis food support across the council area and now running 8 foodbanks every week alongside a delivery service for rural and infirm clients. Seeing a need for more than just food in the area, our foodbanks have expanded into hubs to provide support and pulling in other organisations to help our clients. Finally, we have piloted a counselling service in our rural communities.
