ALDI SHEFFIELD - ARCHER RD

Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise. This is more than food and is part of a supportive services platform to help people get sustained in their own individual way. With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the impact stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare. Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, and brand new clothing to people facing a temporary challenge. Whatever supermarkets, stores, and retailers can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. This is a response to real people in real-time. No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service. Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes, soup kitchens and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with food donations. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. All are invited to become part of these sustainable stories in your local community.

Our working name is Norfolk Park Tenants and Residents Association. Our parcel numbers settled to between 10 and 25 parcels a week, unfortunately our numbers are increasing once again. We receive food donations from a range of stores so our parcels contain tinned, dried and fresh food, and amounts are dependent on the size of the household. We are not a food bank but a food project, so we can help those people who can't access traditional food banks. (Those on zero hour contracts, low waged, people not in debt) We have been operating in the same area now for over 60 years, the TARA is run and staffed by unpaid volunteers who are DBS checked and undergo a range of training including food hygiene, first aid, safeguarding plus other training as needed. We also have 3 trainers who can teach basic computer skills and help people get on-line, we have 5 volunteers who teach English as a second language, 2 volunteers who have done training with Love Food Hate Waste and who now help people reduce the amounts of food they waste. Our premises include an office, meeting room, store room, bathroom, kitchen and our sensory room which is suitable for both children and adults. We work with a range of other organisations including local council and housing associations, SY Police, local primary schools, Manor & Castle Development Trust and our local Church. If you would like any other information please do not hesitate to contact us.

OT Fundraisers CIC started "OT Food Waste Club" June 2022, with 25 members & has now grown with over 450 members. The food club, creates Food parcels for £3.50 which are worth £10 to £15. On average we create 300 food parcels a week, which are collected by the NG15 Hucknall Community from the new OT Thread Shed, Community Hub. We are hoping the project runs for another 2 years, because of the cost of living crisis. There is no sigma against the boxes, basically, its helps the community, try things at a cheaper price, fills fridges & freezers & helps with cost of living. All funds go towards projects in NG15. In school holidays, we make over 1000 packed lunches. We have had over 10 Free Family Fun Days, were kids & adults come & engage. We have DJ, Face painting, crafts & activities. We also hold on a regular basis, Police Surgeries, Futures (Career advice) & New Changes (Womens Charity) to come & offer support to the community.
