Lidl Stoke on Trent Hanley

We are a local charity, offering various workshops and activities for all ages, food parcels and a non-binding advice service if needed. We support everyone in our community who needs support, often vulnerable and disadvantaged people throughout Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle under Lyme. Our aim is to ensure everyone feels safe and as a valued member of our community.

Since 1996, our charity has been dedicated to serving the communities of Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas. Over the years, we have established and supported a range of institutions and initiatives that benefit both the Muslim community and the wider public, with a strong focus on community cohesion, wellbeing, and social support. We have consistently contributed to and supported a number of respected charitable organisations and causes, including Douglas Macmillan Hospice, Age UK, British Heart Foundation, diabetes charities, cancer relief initiatives, and a variety of local community projects. Our work regularly includes support for the elderly, youth development programmes, sports initiatives, and health and wellbeing activities across the local area. We have recently established a new community food bank, which is expected to become fully operational within the coming weeks. As part of this initiative, we have invested in the development of appropriate storage facilities and food safety procedures to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and compliance. We are now officially registered with Stoke-on-Trent City Council for food safety and hygiene, and our volunteers have successfully completed accredited food safety training and certification. With an existing background and experience in food and catering services, we are fully familiar with the “Safer Food, Better Business” system and are implementing these standards throughout our operations. In addition to our local community services, we also provide support and guidance to residents in areas such as housing assistance, welfare and benefits support, and emergency aid. Our charitable activities extend both locally and internationally, including emergency appeals, humanitarian support, and collaborative fundraising efforts alongside other charities and organisations to help those most in need.
