B&Q Cannock

Burntwood Be A Friend (BBAF) was born from crisis, founded during the Covid-19 pandemic with a singular aim: to ensure no one in our community felt forgotten. What began as a team of volunteers delivering essentials has since evolved into a dynamic, multi-faceted charity supporting over 850 households in Burntwood and its surrounding areas. From our Community Store and wellbeing walks to free cooking classes and counselling, BBAF listens to needs and responds with action.

Hearts and Hands Stafford is a community led non profit organisation; working in the community in Stafford and the surrounding area Helping primarily those affected by hours/reduced income, self employed, part time workers and those who have slipped through the net and need a bit of help. Assisted by local supermarkets supplying surplus food that would normally go to waste and distributing free of charge to the community. We collect and distribute food parcels at no charge to those who are in need. Any donations that come to us will never be sold on for any profits. Hearts and Hands collection points are scattered throughout the area, outside the homes of community minded people who collect dry food and tinned food goods to add to the stock at Hearts and Hands to be given freely. Non food donations, household items and clothing are also collected and given back out into the community or to other charities. We have had many success stories in helping people with their homes who are most vulnerable, we have helped to clear, clean, decorate, refurnish and carpet homes. We do this with the help from the local communities. Working with the blessing of several Stafford Borough Councillors and registered with Support Staffordshire and SCVYS Hearts and Hands Stafford is going from strength to strength with strong committee and great team of key volunteers. Our motto; never look down on someone unless you are helping them up!

We are a Burntwood charity ran by local people who focus on supporting families and putting our community first. We offer food support, friendship and volunteering opportunities whilst delivering a wide range of groups and workshops. We work closely with other local organisations and initiatives to strengthen connections, give opportunities to build brighter futures. With open arms we welcome those locally.
