🥦🍞 Community Pantry – Supporting Local Families & Reducing Waste 🍞🥦 Our Community Pantry is here to make a difference. By collecting surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, we’re able to offer affordable access to a wide range of groceries while helping the environment at the same time. Every visit helps reduce food waste and supports families across our community. Together, we can save good food, protect the planet, and support one another. 🌍❤️

The purpose of the trust is to advance the christian religion by preaching the gospel of God about his only son, Jesus christ. We are a Christian charity organisation that offer spiritual, emotional, economic empowerment volunteering and training opportunities to people in our community, especially the most vulnerable and deprived. Agape is dedicated to impacting lives through unconditional love and is committed to helping individuals and their communities. Helping people to; discover and maximize their potential, to develop themselves and those around them, bringing together communities and supporting them on their life journey. We partner with the local Council and other like minded organisations for Community development in different capacities.

The Community Hub and Food Bank has approximately 25to 45 service users each week and also do emergencies for people who are suffering with food poverty due to the cost of living crisis. Our volunteers try to supply a good balanced diet with donations of foods from food donation partnerships and the general public. Food poverty can have a detrimental effect on mental health and health in general, sometimes a cup of tea and a biscuit together with a warm friendly environment is the beginning of finding out the problems that our service users are experiencing, we then can sign post to the relevant agencies. Our volunteers work tirelessly to help those in need including the homeless in our area, many successful outcomes have come about because we listen and help.
