Sainsbury's Mere Green

We are a small charitable community group based in Kingstanding, one of the more deprived areas of Birmingham. We provide support to families, the homeless, elderly and underprivileged members of our community. Our main project ' TiCs Food Parcels' is currently helping the vulnerable and those affected by the rising cost of living by providing community members with food parcels on a fortnightly basis. We collect and distibute surplus food donations and essential items from supermarkets, to help people in need. Our other projects include our Annual Boxing Day Meal, Homeless Shoe Box Project, Fun Days and other outside events. We also provide training and health workshops relevant to our community.

We are a group of all volunteers set up in May 2021. We seek to help individuals and families within North Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield area who are experiencing financial hardship and as a consequence are suffering from food poverty. We will actively work collaboratively with others to use and then redistribute surplus food to aim to ensure that no food goes to waste. We will provide a food bank to provide ambient and fresh food parcels to local communities.
