We founded The Cupboard Network in order to help prevent food waste in the community. We are horrified at how much perfectly good food goes to waste due to widely inaccurate use by/best before dates. We found ourselves with a lot of surplus food after collecting and distributing from various organisations, and thought we would offer it out into the community via our "community cupboard". We've quickly had to expand due to such a fantastic response from the community and we've been able to provide lots of food parcels to vulnerable people, whilst also tackling the war on waste! The cupboard is open to everyone, regardless of background or income as our main focus will always be to reduce the amount of food that goes to waste. We do ask for a small donation where possible if you come to collect from us; as little as £1 here and there helps us to continue to offer this service. We opened The Table Community Café in March 2023, providing free hot and cold meals and refreshments at our full table service café. We operate a food bank session every Wednesday and Citizen’s Advice are on hand for queries. If you've got any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Keep fighting this war on waste with us! We appreciate you ❤

We are a community hub and a registered charity led by local people. We serve a highly deprived community in South Sefton, Merseyside where we operate an anti-poverty programme supporting people in crisis and who are vulnerable due to resource and attachment poverties. We operate a range of services in support of families and vulnerable residents including a food programme and clothing exchange.

We are a community organisation who offers help to varied people. We offer groups including a “ Sing A Long” for people with Alzheimer’s / Dementia and their careers plus anyone else who may want to attend, we have a knit and natter group, Tai Chi and Art and Meditation to mention but a few. We also have Mo’s Pantry where people who are suffering hardship can receive varied food items. This is hugely popular with old people, young people , refugees , asylum seekers and those from all ethnic minorities. We also offer free tea and toast to people each day between 10-12 and there is no charge for this or the food. Additionally we are a warm hub for people , last year saw a huge amount of people just coming in for a warm and we expect even more this year as the months become colder. Irenaeus is staffed by volunteers and we are open Monday- Thursday 10-4pm
