ALDI PORTISHEAD

The Nailsea Community Group was set up in March 2020 in response to the Covid crisis. Since then the group has gone from strength to strength and has evolved from a Covid-response team to a real Community Group that highlights what an amazing community we have in Nailsea. Community Larder - this has been established to stop food from going to waste and is supported by local shops, both independently and through the charities FareShare, Neighbourly, and FoodShare. It has an average of 55 visits a day and is open to all residents and has no impact on our Foodbank stock. #feedbelliesnotbins Community Food Club - this is open to those who receive benefits. Membership costs £1 per household and entitles members to a weekly bag of store-cupboard items worth over £10 for £3.50. End Holiday Hunger - When schools are not running we are endeavouring to provide food for every child in Nailsea who receives Free School Meals in term time. Nailsea Active - this initiative continues to inspire people to stay mentally and physically active and to make the most of our amazing local facilities. We are very proud to live in Nailsea and would not be able to provide the above without every volunteer along with every resident, business, and organisation that has helped us along the way. Thank you so much for your continued support.

The aim of Portishead Community Fridge and Food Network is to prevent food going to waste by sharing it within our community. We have recently agreed land for a permanent site for a Fridge, freezer and larder and whilst waiting for planning permisssion to be granted are running pop up surplus tables around the town. These allow us to explain our purpose and encourage local residents to work with us to reduce food waste.

Portishead Youth & Community Centre is passionate about making a difference. We are a community centre by day, and a youth centre by night with something for everyone in our community. We have been running activities and provision for children, young people and families since 1966 and have a long well-established reputation for being a professional service as the largest community space in our town. We are accessible and open to all; however, we have a particular focus on providing for those who would not ordinarily be able to access such opportunities, due to finances or those who need additional support to engage with provision. Portishead Youth & Community Centre is a safe and welcoming place where people can meet, socialise, flourish and grow, or just relax and have fun. Our Centre is inclusive and empowering, supporting our community with a specific focus on activities and services for children and young people, however we are proud to provide something for everyone of all ages. From new-born babies to senior citizens and everyone in between, our aim is to make a difference to all.
