If you would like to join any of our projects, please get in touch using any of our contact details; we can help you through one of our projects OR we can help find the people you need to speak to. Please note our staff work part-time and projects start and finish typically within the mornings of Monday to Friday.
If we are not available for any reason, please find the link to foodpowertogether here as they may be able to help you.
If you are in need of school uniforms, while we do not run the project, there is a uniform bank at the Evangelical Church on Fountain Street, accessed from the rear of the church, down the beck path from Chaloner Street. Their opening times are on Tuesdays from 10am to 11:45am not only term-time but also right through the summer holidays. From the end of June through to Sept, they are also open on a Thursday evening from 6-7pm. If you would like more information, you can find their Facebook page here.
Foodstop requests that you seek a referral from someone such as your social prescriber via your GP’s surgery or social services. Other places we accept referrals from are:
Probation/Justice Services
Social Services
Beyond Housing
Citizen’s Advice Bureau
Local Primary Heads/Early Help
Church Leaders
The foodstop supports those with referrals for offering 3 food parcels across 3 weeks, consisting of fresh groceries, basic non-perishable items, and other items needed in life such as detergent. Thereafter, clients will be offered discounted items from our community shop.
