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.

Forum Housing is a charitable organisation that has been a provider of accommodation and support to young people, and people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless in the Northwest for 50 years. The Association’s mission statement “it’s all about you” is a testimony to the Association’s Christian foundation and values. It captures for us the sentiments of respect for and consideration of others, which is at the heart of all we do. Together we aim to 'Create Opportunities for Brighter Futures'

Neo Community cafe is working hard to save a centre in the heart of the Beaconsfield community Rockferry delivering services for over two decades. The Beaconsfield Community House has been opening its doors for a kids youth club and community bingo for residents for the last 15 years. Neo delivers an action-packed programme of activities including arts, craft, games, cookery and fundays, as well as providing healthy and nutritious breakfast and lunches to children and adults. During the school holidays we aim to use 90% surplus/donated food, with most of our creations packed full of fruit and vegetables to ensure children get their five a day. At Beaconsfield Neo is in the process of setting up, a community clothes swap that will enable families to access clothes (secondhand or new) for both adults and children as suitable clothing can be out of reach to many on a restricted or low income. Our community food bank offers crisis support to people who might have reached their quota with their foodbank and still find themselves in hardship. The cafe runs on a 'Pay As You Feel' basis, offering meals which can be paid for in a number of ways, including money or volunteer time. There are also plans to introduce a number of workshops and feel-good programmes once the centre is back in full swing.
