ALDI BOLTON DISTRIBUTION CENTRE

Community little hulton's mission is to inspire todays youth and to bring the community together to enhance everybody's wellbeing. As it takes time to organise social value days, a small donation to cover the costs would be greatly appreciated.

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

The Food Hub is our warehouse where a number of projects are run than are tackling food poverty. These projects include Storehouse Foodbank, Storehouse Pantries, Local Welfare Provision, Bolton Lunches and Christmas Dinner on Jesus. Storehouse Foodbank provides emergency food parcels to individuals and families who find themselves in food poverty due to reasons such as illness, debt, benefit delays, homelessness, domestic abuse, redundancy or family breakdown. Food parcels are collected from a number of centre's known as "collection points" or delivered to people's homes on a Wednesday or Friday. Referrals are made via a broad range of support agencies that are supporting the individual or family in their wider circumstance. We understand that the provision of food alone is not a sustainable solution and so we need to be working in partnership to be more than food. Urban Outreach Support Workers also work closely with families and adults in crisis. Bolton Food Hub benefits from the generosity of over 60 schools, 80 churches and numerous local business and organisations who collect food, both at harvest time and throughout the year, many using our “Grub Tubs”. Most importantly, these donations are supplemented by collections of fresh and ambient surplus food donated by supermarkets and food-on-the-go outlets across Bolton and peripheral areas.
