We redistribute surplus food from supermarkets to the local community and local charities. This not only saved food from landfill but also helps to build community. - What premises does your project operate from? Currently 38 Linkside Rd, L25 9NX. This is registered with EHO. We have just been offered one day a week in a local shop. We are also working with two local councillors (Mirna Juarez and Sharon Connor) to rent space in a local church hall in an evening too. - How do you identify service users and their needs? They approach us through our facebook page, word of mouth or other people/organisations direct them to ourselves. For example, Alice Bennett, an ex local councillor directed us to a lady with seven children. They also come to our Friday community event in Hunts Cross Gardens. - Are there any other services provided by your organisation other than food support? Our other aim is building community and providing opportunities for volunteering. - Is there a charge for the service(s) provided by your organisation? No - Do you currently collect surplus food from any other retailers? Yes – Tesco and a local Co op. - Has there been local press or similar that demonstrates your organisation's work in the local community? Not yet although the local councillors do share our facebook page. - Would it be possible to provide photographs of work that your organisation does in the local community? There are lots on our facebook page and Instagram page - Is your project a registered charity, registered CIC, social enterprise or non-profit organisation? We have made an application. - Have you partnered with other local good causes or council members who may be able to provide a reference? If you would like to provide a reference from a local organisation, if you could ask them to email us at food@neighbourly.com as soon as possible, that would be great.

We provide good quality food to our members. Our pantry is held once a week on Wednesdays between 11 am and 1 pm. Our members pay £5 per visit and can take home between £15-£20 worth of food. The majority of the food we offer comes from surplus from supermarkets/shops and would otherwise have gone to landfill. We have increased the average number of members visiting by 25% in the last 6 weeks and need to source more food to meet the increasing demand.

Staff at Yates Court support families at risk of homelessness. The aim of the scheme is to give our tenants the right skills to move on to their own tenancy. We help them to develop the skills required to set up and sustain their own independent homes. For example, we help them to get involved in some fantastic training opportunities. This boosts their confidence and makes it possible for them to look for work.
