As a charity we provide emotional and spiritual support, advice, resources and services to those affected by various social and economic circumstances. We do this in many ways through support groups, empowering conferences and seminars as well as social activities that benefit the community. We have several families and individuals whom we support with food parcels every week in the local community including those who attend our community centre support groups. In recent times due to the Pandemic, we have seen a great increase in demand for food parcels and we have been delivering these to the community when they cannot come to collect them from the building. We also offer a take away cooked lunch on a Sunday afternoon.

Bradford Central Foodbank fed over 16,000 local people last year in food crisis by providing three days' emergency food and support and advice. Everyone who comes to us is referred by an organisation who is in contact with people so we know everyone who comes to us is hungry and in need of emergency food. Organisations such as social services, schools, doctors, charities, housing associations etc. We give emegency food parcels, we have a cafe and also we want to provide peple with hplistic advice so people can overcome the root cause of food crisis. We provide fuel grants, SIM cards, benefits advice, job coaching, DWP support, family legal advice, housing support. All our services are offered free of charge. We need all year round help with fundraising, either as a one-off event or on an ongoing basis - we always need funds to help cover food purchasing and operating costs. We rely on volunteers to deliver this service and regularly need extra help with the following activities: -warehouse sorting -parcel/hamper packing -supermarket collections -one off projects
