Lidl Birmingham Winson Green

We are a Community hub providing financial resilience and wellbeing support for women. We offer services, financial information, guidance and support for households affected by or/and facing financial exclusion, poverty and debt in Birmingham. We help household's on their journey to becoming financially confident when managing their everyday finances. We want communities to know how to access financial support as a prevention and not just when in a financial crisis. We offer the skills and knowledge to build financial resilience through the delivery of our Financial Capability workshop and 1-2-1 peer support. In October 2022 we decided to start a foodbank, the number of referrals we did to external agencies was very high, so we decided to offer this as a direct service. We deliver the food parcels once a week to the local community and receive referrals from external agency's in Ladywood for emergency food parcels.

The Real Junk Food Project Central is a Community Interest Company established in August 2017. We intercept edible food destined for waste from supermarkets, restaurants and shops, and make it available for human consumption through our network of local, community-focused cafes and food boutiques. We also offer unique events catering and bespoke training under our TRJFP Academy. Everything we do is always Pay As You Feel, and welcoming of people from all walks of life. You are welcome to pay for your food in cash, time, skills, or anything else you can think of! We operate on a bottom-up philosophy, where local cafes and food boutiques are run by representatives of their community.

We are a charity that helps feed the homeless and those that are struggling financially. We cook a free breakfast and lunch every week on a Saturday where those in need can come and eat. We also open our doors every Tuesday evening as a food bank and give out donated food to those in need, items such as cereal, rice, pasta and tinned food. We are also planning on doing a ‘Fundraising Lunch’ where we will open up our doors to the whole community during lunchtime and Cook a lunch and ALL proceeds will go towards our bigger objective of helping those less fortunate within the community. We would love food donations to help those in Birmingham that reach out to us every week requesting food and help because they have no money, roof over their head or are just struggling to survive in this current climate.
