RCCG Stockton CIC is a Christian Faith based community interest group that provide assistance to the less privileged in the community. We provide social, psychological and often material support for individuals and families within Teesside, county Durham and Tyneside. We provide emotional support and ensuring they are living fulfilled life. RCCG Stockton is dedicated to funding and delivering charitable services to our local community and we strive to inspire and improve the lives of those who need assistance. We have over three years experience in helping people stay worm and dry through our charity, and food distribution to the less privilege, as well as vulnerable people and families on low incomes in the community. We help anybody who needs our support; young, old, single people and families from all backgrounds, religious beliefs and ethnic origins, without prejudice. The one thing they all have in common is that we aim to treat everyone fairly and with dignity. There is no charge for the food.

Since 2011, Sprouts has been dedicated to improving the nutritional, physical, and mental health of our community. We focus our work in areas of high deprivation, where financial pressures deepen health inequalities. Our main locations are Mandale and Victoria Ward in Thornaby and Arlington Park in Stockton, alongside outreach projects across the borough. Some of our activities include: • Community shops, lunch clubs, cooking workshops, and community gardens • Family pop-up events and volunteer opportunities • Collecting surplus food from local supermarkets to share in our free, no-referral community shops • Donating second-hand clothes, household goods, and furniture to ease financial pressure and promote sustainability We work with children, adults, vulnerable groups, and BAME communities, providing training opportunities like Level 2 Food Hygiene and supporting people to build skills and confidence.

We are looking for surplus donations to support our community pantry. The pantry is open to the general public to attend and collect items for free and is used to bridge the gap on the wait for receiving external food parcels from other services.
