Burntwood Be A Friend (BBAF) was born from crisis, founded during the Covid-19 pandemic with a singular aim: to ensure no one in our community felt forgotten. What began as a team of volunteers delivering essentials has since evolved into a dynamic, multi-faceted charity supporting over 850 households in Burntwood and its surrounding areas. From our Community Store and wellbeing walks to free cooking classes and counselling, BBAF listens to needs and responds with action.

We run our humble operation out of a kitchen in the centre of Stafford town. Each week our volunteers take turns to cook a hot, home-cooked meal for our guests, who are growing in their numbers every week. Fantastic homely meals aren’t the only thing on the HOB menu, friendship, support, advice and someone to listen are available to all our visitors, or as we like to call them our friends. Ask any of our visitors and they will tell you, it isn’t a house that makes a home; it’s the family inside it. House of Bread is like a real home; we eat together, laugh together, cry together, share success and support each other in times of crisis.
