ALDI STOKE ON TRENT - NEWCASTLE RD

We are a local charity, offering various workshops and activities for all ages, food parcels and a non-binding advice service if needed. We support everyone in our community who needs support, often vulnerable and disadvantaged people throughout Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle under Lyme. Our aim is to ensure everyone feels safe and as a valued member of our community.

The Lyme Trust is a charitable organisation which was set up in 1974. The Trust provides supported accommodation for people living with mental health problems. We also support people with substance misuse and addiction difficulties alongside any mental health issues. Our aim is provide a safe, stable and comfortable environment in which people can live. Residents have access to high levels of support and a good quality of life. The Trust is part of the voluntary sector and has access to a wide network of specialist support. Volunteers play a large part in the organisation and with their variety of experiences bring a rich cultural element to The Trust. The management team meets on a regular basis with the board of Trustees to report on progress and exchange views.

We don't believe that good food should be sent to landfill. It is our goal to reduce food waste and to provide the local community with the means to feed their families without the need for foodbanks and charitable handouts. We work with suppliers and distribution centers to buy their surplus stock, stock that has damaged packaging and stock past its best before date in order to be able to sell it cheaply to local families. We believe that no-one should be forced to beg for food and be reliant on hand-outs and through our shop people can feed their families, increasing self-worth and self-esteem.
