We are a non-profit Community Investment Company based in Shirebrook, near Mansfield Nottinghamshire. The group is run by 3 directors and a group of local ambassadors. Our aim is to improve the local community and surrounding areas by creating the conditions that allow people to come together to help and support one another. We run a Community Fridge - which is open every week day in our community venue called The Hole in the Wall. We also run a variety of activities and events throughput the year. All profits are invested back into both pre-existing and new initiatives/events. We have further ambitions to deliver on wider, community-based initiatives, that are derived from extensive research and have been co-designed with the local community, service partners and local businesses alike. "Being Kind in Shirebrook" is our pledge that holds us all to account.

Staveley Foodbank is run and operated by Edge Ministries, a Christian mission organisation that both speaks of and demonstrates the love of God as seen in Jesus Christ. Staveley Foodbank is here to help people who are in need and are struggling to feed themselves and their family. We use food parcels as a way of opening up a lifeline of hope and help into our community and offer various other projects for people to get involved with- all run in the Edge Centre with the aim of providing a wholistic approach to facing life’s struggles. Wednesday Mornings are more than just a drop in opportunity for people to access food, we also provide a welcoming café environment where people are encouraged to take time to sit in the warm, grab a brew and chat to our friendly volunteers. We rely on donations from the public, as well as local businesses and are working very hard to collect from anywhere and everywhere. You can donate food directly to Staveley Edge Centre weekdays between 9am-4pm, or financially online via povertybreaker.uk
