M&S Welwyn Garden City

We support local families and individuals who are in urgent need of food and essentials. Today many people across the UK people are struggling to feed themselves and their families. Redundancy, illness, domestic violence, debt, benefit dispute or delay, family breakdown and paying for expected bill or emergency are just some of the reasons why people find themselves struggling. Manna was started by a committee of people from the community working together to help local families at their time of need. We're a community based organisation that will serve anyone in emergency need in regardless of their religious beliefs.

At Jedidiah, we believe nobody should have to choose between dignity and dinner. We are a community pantry with a big heart and an even bigger sense of welcome. We're more than a place to fill a shopping bag. We're a place to be seen. Our shelves are stocked with good, nourishing food, and our doors are open to anyone who needs them: no judgement, no awkward questions, just a friendly face and a fuller basket on the way out. We're powered by volunteers and held together by one simple belief: a strong community looks after its own. Food is about more than what's on the plate, it's comfort, connection, and the quiet reassurance that someone's got your back.

Food Rescue Hub is a new food boutique, where unsold food destined for destruction can be rescued and instead, diverted from the bin by being offered to the community. The historic market town in the East of England, in fact the first to attain Fairtrade status in the county, is a prime hot spot for on-premise trade along with an array of well supported and much loved unique independent businesses. The uncooked food recovered from retail operators and local food businesses, are available on the pay-as-you-feel (PAYF) basis, making it accessible and encouraged to all members of the community, providing opportunities to make inroads to starting or furthering a journey of living a life of less environmentally detrimental impact. The Food Rescue Hub intends to provide regular and well supported opportunities to introduce and empower the community to engage in environmental conversations.
