I am a support planner in Framework Accommodation Service in South Holland. Framework Housing Association supports people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We support people with budgeting and learning life skills which they will use once they have settled into their own accommodation. Donations of food will really help our service as we like to regularly do cooking activities for the residents to learn different cooking styles and also recipes which they haven't tried before. Also when people move into the service we will be able to use the donations towards there move in pack which helps the service user at this stressful time. A lot of our service users are on a low income and do not have the funds for food and this impacts their mental and physical health. Our service users are appreciative to the support and any donations they receive.

All our activities come under the New Life Church Ministries (Sleaford) charity. It is our wish to support any organisation and supermarkets that uses the Neighbourly platform to reduce food waste. Food is then provided in many ways across our locations and activities. We value the support from our partners. Sleaford New Life Community Impact run many activities under our charitable umbrella. These include our Food Bank, Seniors Meals provision, Community Table, and more. We also operate some sub-trading activities like our Community Grocery, Community Coffee Shop, and Conference Centre, some of which have pay-it-forward options. All profits are reinvested in sustaining charitable activities, serving our community, and supporting those who need help. We especially value additional items for our Community Larder, which is stocked entirely by donations from individuals, businesses, schools and churches who provide produce such as tins and packets, often through their harvest festival celebrations. These items create a central stock that is used in the food parcels, whilst financial donations enable us to provide milk, bread, essential toiletries and nappies. Any excess or surplus items are redistributed to other Community activities, to avoid food waste..

We run a soup kitchen for people in need in the town 6 nights a week serving soups, Pasta dishes with vegetables, bread, tea & coffee & we have a 3 homes for helping people get of the street
