M&S Newbury

West Berks Foodbank exists to ensure that no one in our community faces hunger alone. We provide emergency food parcels and compassionate support to local people in crisis across West Berkshire, responding with dignity, care, and practical help when it’s needed most. Our work is powered by a dedicated network of volunteers, referral partners, and community organisations who help identify need early and connect people with the right support. Alongside supplying nutritionally balanced food parcels, we walk alongside individuals and families to help them navigate the challenges they are facing. Through tailored advice, signposting, and wider support services, we aim to address the underlying causes of hardship—empowering people to rebuild stability, confidence, and hope for the future. Guided by our mission of Relieving Hunger, Restoring Dignity, and Reviving Hope, we are committed to creating a community where everyone has the resources and resilience they need to thrive.
