M&S Stretford

We have been running a decade providing hot meals and clothing to our freinds on the streets daily to doing christmas dinners on the streets. This year we have been getting toy and food hampers for families struggling at Christmas, the elderly, and people suffering mental health and disabilities. We help all year round. We get no funding - just loving people donating to a excellent cause. I set up the group years ago after living rough and always said when I got on my feet I would help. 10 years on we're still giving back to communities - something we are passionate about. We are not just an outreach service. You become a shoulder to cry on, helping people through their low points in life. We have spent hours talking to our friends on the streets. We have taken in 15 homeless into our own home been in the media for this. We have put homeless in guest houses by raising funds on our group. We were recently in the Guardian for tracing a homeless friend's family in the USA. We can't turn our backs, something I for one am passionate about. We just struggle for food donations, for our weekly food bank handing out grab bags for children and bags of food for adults. We are raising funds on Bradley's angels every week to buy food to help families struggling elderly and those suffering with disabilities. Start of lickdown we was also taking food supplies to hospitals aswell as in communities.christmas 2020 we handed out over 100 presents. Please support our caring cause thank you ameera ramzan

The project is an environmentally focused food surplus redistribution initiative operating across South Manchester. The project's primary purpose is to prevent food waste by redistributing good-quality surplus food that would otherwise go to landfill, delivering clear environmental benefits while also supporting good-quality surplus food that would otherwise go to landfill, delivering clear environmental benefits while also supporting the wider community during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. The initiative operates on an open and inclusive basis, with no referral requirements, assessments or eligibility criteria. Food is shared openly to ensure surplus is used efficiently and responsibly, regardless of background or circumstances. This is non-discriminatory approach allows the project to remain focused on waste prevention while offering practical support to anyone seeking to reduce food waste and household food costs. The project is supported by volunteers from all walks of life, including professionals and warm-hearted local parents, who work together to collect, sort and redistribute surplus food. This diverse volunteer base reflects the community-led nature of the initiative and supports its ongoing operation. All food is redistributed free of charge. The project does not charge for its services and does not operate as a commercial or profit-making model.
