ALDI CLAY CROSS

We are an alternative provision school looking for food items for students and anything we may be able to use for incentives to help the children and promote attendance.

Clay Cross Foodbank is a Trussell Trust Foodbank We don't think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That's why we provide three days' nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who have been referred to us in crisis ( including Citizen's Advice, Health Professionals, Probation Officers, Social services, schools and churches). We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working together to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. Households collect food from one of our centres, where they can also access advice from our in-house financial inclusion service in partnership with Citizens Advice North East Derbyshire. The foodbank will also support socially disadvantaged or vulnerable people by offering placements to work in the community, whatever their physical of mental capacity. We can provide opportunities for those out of work to volunteer, building their confidence and skills and gaining a recent reference.

We are a membership only community project fighting food poverty in chesterfield. Before the lockdowns, we were a community café helping disadvantaged and vulnerable people get a warm, healthy meal. During the lockdown, we delivered in excess of 10,000 food parcels to frontline workers, vulnerable and shielding people and everybody else who needed our help.
