Lidl Maghull

We are a community hub and a registered charity led by local people. We serve a highly deprived community in South Sefton, Merseyside where we operate an anti-poverty programme supporting people in crisis and who are vulnerable due to resource and attachment poverties. We operate a range of services in support of families and vulnerable residents including a food programme and clothing exchange.

We are an independent foodbank that covers the whole of West Lancashire providing food, cleaning products and clothes to disadvantaged families in the community. We operate a referral-based foodbank serving West Lancashire's most vulnerable residents. Our team collects donated food and essential items which we package into multi-day parcels, providing families with enough supplies to sustain them through difficult periods. We would like donations to support these families at their time of need. Leading up to Christmas we also make up food hampers and children's presents to give out to local agencies or families that would not be able to have Christmas without our support. Any donations are gratefully received and will be put to good use.

We offer emergency food (3 days supply) to those in need. People are referred to the food-bank by partner organisations - we currently have over 100 voucher holders. Some people attend the food-bank with out being referred, because they do not know how to access a voucher. At the moment, we're developing our services in all the food-banks, to enable people to receive holistic support and advice from qualified advisers such as CAB and Dept. Advisers. The food-bank is a St Leoanards Youth & Community Project. St Leoanards have lots of projects. Poppies is a programme for the elderly. We also run youth opportunities, jobs clubs, community lunch and brownies.
