ALDI FENTON

Our homeless and vulnerable visitors remain our priority, and our primary aim is to provide a free full cooked breakfast for them every Thursday morning. We offer shower facilities and provide fresh, clean underwear, socks, clothing, sleeping bags and blankets. In addition to the average 100 breakfasts served weekly, we also provide an average of 100 food parcels, including toiletries and various other household essentials. Our food support extends to local needy families, plus the families of asylum seekers and immigrants. Our services are offered to anyone who comes along - no referrals are required and no charge is made. We remain extremely grateful to Warburtons in Stone, Staffordshire, who have faithfully supported us since we began. They have provided the physical ‘bread-of-life’ for our charity and our guests throughout the period of time we’ve been in operation. We also receive support and donations via the Fareshare organisation. We established our charity in 2005 and were honoured to receive the MBE ‘QUEEN’S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICES’ in 2015. In March 2025, we marked up 20 years of community service, and it only seems like yesterday when we welcomed our first guest in for a meal. Since that time, we’ve witnessed the needs in our area slowly and very sadly deteriorate. Many individuals and families, who would not have used our service in the past, are now coming along for help and support.

We help support Refugees and asylum who are applying to stay in the UK. Sanctus St Mark's is a support group for refugees and people who are seeking asylum in the UK. We aim to walk alongside people who find their way to us, from all around the world, in a non judgemental and safe environment. Some of the people we support are completely destitute and have no means of providing their own food. We work with our local foodbank and do our best to make sure that no-one goes home hungry. Everyone in need goes home with a bag of supplies, providing fresh vegetables and fruit whenever possible.

We are Christ Apostolic Church Faith Chapel and we believe no one should go hunger. We care for the less privileged and homeless in our community, making food available for them three times a week and help those in need.
