The Cheerful Givers 77
Manchester, UK
The Cheerful Givers 77 is a community charity dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing financial hardship across Greater Manchester. Our mission is simple: to ensure that nobody has to go without food, toiletries, or basic essentials during difficult times.
We provide emergency food parcels, hygiene products, toiletries, clothing, bedding, school uniforms, and household essentials to people who are struggling due to low income, unemployment, illness, disability, family breakdown, rising living costs, or unexpected life events. We work closely with schools, community groups, and local organisations to identify and support those most in need.
A large part of our work focuses on helping families with children. We believe no child should go hungry or miss out on opportunities because of financial hardship. Through our support, we help relieve some of the pressure families face and provide practical assistance when it is needed most.
We also recognise that toiletries and hygiene products are often overlooked but are essential for health, dignity, and wellbeing. Many of the people we support struggle to afford items such as toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, sanitary products, soap, and toilet roll. By providing these items alongside food support, we help people maintain their confidence and independence.
As demand for our services continues to grow, we are in urgent need of donations. We particularly need non-perishable food items, tinned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, long-life milk, tea, coffee, toiletries, cleaning products, sanitary products, and household essentials. Surplus food donations from local businesses would also make a significant difference to the families we support.
We welcome volunteers who can assist with collections, sorting donations, fundraising, deliveries, and community outreach. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us provide vital support to people facing hardship.
At The Cheerful Givers 77, we believe that kindness changes lives. Our goal is not only to meet immediate needs but also to offer hope, dignity, and reassurance to those going through difficult times. With community support, we can continue reaching vulnerable individuals and families and ensure that nobody feels alone when they need help the most. ❤️

Looprun Salford
Salford, UK
Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise called Glass Mill Social Enterprise C.I.C. This is more than food and is part of a platform called RSBA1 (Response, Sustain, Build, Achieve). A free supportive services platform to help people get back on their feet. 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 happy 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 clothing to people facing a challenge. Whatever you can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. As everything given and everybody counts.
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 food donations can include fresh fruit, vegetables, bakery items and non perishables.
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 and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with your food donations. Therefore we need your help to ensure we can supply the demand in this crisis.
Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. We, therefore, are a platform for a voice to be heard in the community and share life changing stories. It would be great to have more partners become part of these stories in your local community.
Looprun has also expanded into providing toiletries and brand new items of clothing.
