Get Help
We know that anyone can reach crisis point at any time and we’re here to help whenever that happens.
How to Get Help
If you need help from our foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.
The most important step is to get a foodbank voucher.
In order to provide the most appropriate help for the circumstances of your situation we work with local agencies. If they feel you are struggling to put food on the table, they will issue you with a foodbank voucher.
The local agency can also provide long term support if needed to help address some of the issues behind the reasons for your crisis.
If you are a referral agency and would like to become a registered voucher holder for our foodbank, please contact us to find out more.
1. Get in touch with us
If you call or email our foodbank we can talk through your situation and put you in touch with a relevant local agency.
2. Contact your chosen referral agency
They will discuss your situation and supply you with a foodbank voucher where appropriate.
3. Bring your foodbank voucher to your nearest foodbank centre
You can find a list of our local centres and opening times here. When you arrive, we’ll welcome you with a warm drink and our trained volunteers will chat with you about your situation.
We’ll also discuss any dietary needs you may have and exchange your foodbank voucher for a parcel of three days of emergency food. We’ll also help to support you in any other ways that we can. Most of our foodbank centres offer a cafe style environment and our aim is to provide non-judgemental support at the point of crisis.
If you have any further questions our FAQ’s may help, or feel free to give us a call.
Foodbank
We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by Trussell.
