ALDI PETERBOROUGH - MASKEW AVENUE

Families First Peterborough CIC works with children, families and young people in Bretton, Peterborough many of whom are economically disadvantaged. We are always looking for support to enable us to sustain the free services that we deliver from our base.  We work with children and young people from low-income families, who are experiencing a variety of challenges including, additional needs, obesity, isolation & loneliness, mental ill-health and social exclusion. Some are care leavers and asylum seekers. Through our services, which include, youth work, open access play sessions, school holiday activities, community events, free family fun days and small group work, we support children and young people at Crofts Corner. Our sessions include free meals and we also have been involved in delivering food parcels to the vulnerable. Any food donations would be welcome. It would also be great if we could access anything additional to support children, youth and families. For example, any toiletries for us to promote good hygiene, Christmas gifts or help towards Christmas celebrations/ Christmas meals, Easter eggs, and teaching of skills you can provide for our youth over Summer or at our regular youth clubs, contribution towards family fun days for inflatables hire and any contribution towards play equipment for our large playground that needs updating.

Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise. This is more than food and is part of a supportive services platform to help people get sustained in their own individual way. With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the impact stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare. Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, and brand new clothing to people facing a temporary challenge. Whatever supermarkets, stores, and retailers can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. This is a response to real people in real-time. No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service. Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes, soup kitchens and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with food donations. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. All are invited to become part of these sustainable stories in your local community.
