At present, we are supporting around 600 people each month, approximately 40% of whom are children. Alongside emergency food provision, we also fund a Citizens Advice advisor to be based in three of our foodbank centres. This service supports people with access to reduced utility bills, debt management, and advice around benefits, helping people move towards greater stability.

Importantly, for every £1 we invest in this advice project, it generates an estimated £9 return directly to the person being supported, through increased income, reduced outgoings, or managed debt.

“Your kindness and understanding has given me a warm glow and a purpose to keep fighting with the intent on slowly becoming myself again”. Person who has visited one of our foodbank centres.
