B&Q Dewsbury

The Game Changerz run a local youth and sports club in the Fieldhead area of WF17. Fieldhead is in the top 10% lower super output area, predominantly made up of council/social housing with a high unemployment rate. The Fieldhead Estate is the most socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhood in Fieldhead, Birstall, and has suffered disproportionate challenge/difficulty because of the COVID-19 crisis, with families suffering from greater financial hardship, physical inactivity, social isolation and malnutrition. We have been working with local food share groups who have been donating food, and also we are Fare Share members to initially challenge our older youth hub members to make meals from the surplus food. From our first donation, they used eggs, bread, pesto and tomatoes to make eggy bread, scrambled eggs and omelettes etc which they all then enjoyed eating. The children and young adults that attend are rarely at home and therefor don't always get a cooked meal every day. By using surplus food donations to create their own meals, they are being fed, using waste and learning valuable life skills for the next stage of their lives. We would really like to secure collections to enable the choice / variety of what they can cook / eat / share even better. We also plan to use the food to provide food parcels to the families of the 40 children that attend our sports clubs each week.

We are a not-for-profit community charity group supporting the people of Dewsbury South, Leeds LS10 and around the world who are in need, including those affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic. To alleviate poverty, illiteracy and sickness by providing support and aid through the provision of food, hygiene, sanitary products & promoting support for mental health and well-being.

Blessed of the Father is an initiative birthed within the Calvary International Christian Centre, a non-profit organization in Leeds, with an objective to support the less fortunate within the Burley area of Leeds and its surrounding localities. In addition to distributing items of clothing and other essentials on a fortnightly basis, we also aim to host a soup kitchen at the church premises which will be run to provide hot and cold meals, as well as food parcels. We confirm that all food donations received via Neighbourly are, and will continue to be, provided completely free of charge to all within our community.
