Who we are Changing lives Forever (CLF) is a non-profit charity international development organisation that was set up to tackle poverty, homelessness, hunger and general human suffering across the United Kingdom. As part of our commitment, CLF strives to break the cycle of poverty in the lives of individuals and communities through sustainable, long term solutions. What we do CLF aims to alleviate human suffering by offering a better and suitable alternative, whilst changing the lives of people, without regard to gender, age, ethnicity or political or religious association. We distribute food, clothing, and basic living amenities to anyone who comes to the attention of the charity. The charity supports its existence by fundraising and donors’ contributions. Changing lives through Food CLF operates a food bank, and serves hot and cold meals to anyone who is in need. Through the food bank there will be systematic distributions of food parcels to the homeless and needy in the community. From time to time, tinned products and non-perishable items will be organised for communities. Changing lives through education Our education projects are targeted to community education centres, libraries and facilities for schools and colleges, also providing basic school supplies for children to support those attending schools. Changing lives through empowerment The foundation works with all communities and less privileged people, with the aim of helping them realise their potential in the world and change the lives of others, and with your support we have the potential to help them do it. From fundraising events to corporate donations, the foundation will ensure that every gift goes towards helping those who need it most. Donated items are sorted and processed for distributions by volunteers. Postage rates vary depending on destination and are dependent on quotes from couriers. Getting involved with CLF makes a difference to the lives of the people the organisation is working with. Each year the foundation relies on the generosity of the public to raise half of the funding it needs to carry out its work. What can you do? Our work is dependent, to a great extent, on private donations from faithful partners who have made the foundation their life’s work. At the very foundation of relief and development, these donations develop entire communities, making life worth living for millions of people

The cause is to feed the people spiritually and physically We are a community and have extended to a food bank, striving to eradicate hunger in the community, Our food bank network helps people break free from poverty by providing additional support to help people resolve the crises they're facing so that they don't need to use a food bank again in the future. This could include things like debt advice, mental health support, or benefits guidance . In addition to reducing hunger, our food banks help to build communities by providing jobs and being gifted left over food ,goods and services from local businesses, creating an economic stimulus in the areas they serve. Importantly, food donations also help low-income families free up money to meet other basic needs.we currently collect from 6 co-operative stores on a daily base,And we collect from the Costco store in Bushy and Hayes, We partner with CLF and a few other churches and we have decided to open another distribution centre in the middle of Bury park the heart of Luton ,which will be an easy get to point due to the flow of public transport and the town centre being only a 10 minute walk away .And Our work with Neighbourly is a key part to be able to support local people.. We currently have volunteers on standby ready to pick up food from any location. In and around Luton
