Neo Community cafe is working hard to save a centre in the heart of the Beaconsfield community Rockferry delivering services for over two decades. The Beaconsfield Community House has been opening its doors for a kids youth club and community bingo for residents for the last 15 years. Neo delivers an action-packed programme of activities including arts, craft, games, cookery and fundays, as well as providing healthy and nutritious breakfast and lunches to children and adults. During the school holidays we aim to use 90% surplus/donated food, with most of our creations packed full of fruit and vegetables to ensure children get their five a day. At Beaconsfield Neo is in the process of setting up, a community clothes swap that will enable families to access clothes (secondhand or new) for both adults and children as suitable clothing can be out of reach to many on a restricted or low income. Our community food bank offers crisis support to people who might have reached their quota with their foodbank and still find themselves in hardship. The cafe runs on a 'Pay As You Feel' basis, offering meals which can be paid for in a number of ways, including money or volunteer time. There are also plans to introduce a number of workshops and feel-good programmes once the centre is back in full swing.

Community food (csw) are a group of caring volunteers with a passion to share God's love with the amazing community we live in. We have run for over 14 years Every day, we nourish 170 families per week with food bags and surplus food. We're also a busy and vibrant meeting place. From our community shop ,were locals enjoy a natter . Our community shop 71 mill Lane wallasey continue to supply our community cheap food and second hand goods. Our family days out and events build some wonderful shared memories - 120 kids came to our annual kids Christmas party last year, 95 homeless people showed up to our Christmas dinner and our carol service was a big success. All these social opportunities help bring people together to nurture a sense of togetherness and knowledge that others are looking out for them. In turn, this boosts confidence and gives many the courage to make positive changes in their lives. By collaborating with other local groups, we've achieved a lot over the last fourteen years. We've teamed up with Teen Challenge, which is based all over the UK to get addicts into a 12 month rehab. They'll learn social skills, respect, life skills and have a chance to move into job at the end of it. There's nothing better for their self esteem and confidence! We're also linked up with Thompson Mission, YMCA, Wirral Arc, Probation, Wirral Ways, and Birkenhead Court. We stand with our community members in court to appeal on their behalf before being sentenced. Plus, we buy new clothes and toiletries for people before they go in and visit them in jail. At the moment, we have over 20 volunteers working with us helping on the streets and in our centre with paperwork and accounts. Our volunteers grow and learn skills with us that empower them to become more employable. All these opportunities are free for our community. It's a weekly struggle keeping up with demand financially but are greatful to patners like m&s , lidl , asda . We pray everything forward. God is good and faithful. If you know anyway at all that we can be helped with any of this let me know. We love the work we do and have grown so much over last fourteen years. We really want to thank all our voluteers and sponsors for your continued support. Xx
