ALDI QUEDGELEY

'Inspired by Jesus, walking his way of radical love to make a difference in this world' This is our mission statement, lived out through weekly worship, community cafes, partnership with local authorities and charities for delivery of services, youth work, pastoral support, appeals for other charities, courses on the Christian faith, weddings and funerals, exhibitions and more. Through neighbourly, our Community Food Hub is able to collect and distribute food to local families and individuals in need of a little help, because of poverty, ill health or other reasons. We work with other organisations, including Citizens Advice Bureau, Stroud District Council, The Parent and Carer Alliance and Christians against Poverty to help meet the needs of the most vulnerable within our local community.

We provide services for families who have children with special needs and disabilities throughout Gloucestershire. We provide pre school sessions, After School Club, respite and holiday activities for children and young adults aged 0 - 35 years.

Poets Pantry is a resource to combat food poverty in the local community. The rise in the cost of living has hit those who were just about managing and created a situation where people are finding it hard providing food for their families. The Pantry aims to help those people. The neighbourly deliveries are redistributed just after they arrive – they are a free distribution and the time of distribution is 945am-1015am on Thursdays and Fridays.
