Team fundraising for Glossopdale Foodbank

Raising money for Glossopdale Foodbank

Glossopdale Foodbank (C.I.O) exists to make sure that there is adequate emergency food provision for people in the Glossopdale area when no other financial support is immediately available. Families and individuals are referred to us for help by professional organisations like Citizen's Advice, GPs, Social Services, housing and health support workers etc. We analyse the reasons people are using our service and make representations to relevant authorities to reduce the need for foodbanks. Why the community needs us We are a safety net - when someone has nowhere else to go to feed their family we are there to help. Because we accept referrals from professional organisations, we can be sure that our service users are getting the help they need to resolve the crisis they are in. Our impact on the community We have a team of around 60 volunteers and are supported by many others in the local community who give food at various donation points throughout Glossopdale. Charity Registration number 1177306

Story

Glossopdale Foodbank is a local independent registered charity and CIO that provides emergency food for individuals and families in financial crisis. During 2022 we provided 52,578 meals to over 3,745 adults and 2,097 children.

Our ‘Foodbank Plus’ service helps people improve incomes and get out of debt - so they do not need the Foodbank. We refer individuals and families to other relevant services that offer support but only with consent from the individuals concerned.

We also work closely with the other surplus food projects in Glossopdale to ensure that people who come to the foodbank also have access to perishable food such as additional fruit and vegetables, perishable, bakery and dairy items.
