02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
To relieve those in need of support to help reduce hardship and provide beneficial supplies to improve their health and family lifestyle. To advance goodwill and involvement of the whole community and encourage civic pride. We deliver to families and single people who live in Bo’ness and are struggling to afford to buy food. Our clients are referred through various ways, Council, Health Visitor, school, Salvation Army, GP Surgery. Every Thursday we deliver to our clients a bag of dried food, a bag of frozen meals, cereal and whatever is delivered from Cyrenians on the Wednesday and other fresh products we have been donated from local supermarkets. We aim to deliver enough meals to allow the families or single clients to be able to feed themselves for 5 days. At Christmas we deliver a hamper to our clients and receive referrals for households who would benefit for assistance with a Christmas Hamper delivery but doesn’t require assistance through out the year.
