ALDI CHELTENHAM - GROVEFIELD WAY

At our community food group save share and support, We aim to help vulnerable and low income families in need around the Gloucestershire area. With a team of volunteers, we look at saving food waste which consists of fresh, chilled, ambient, frozen, tins, cans, pet and household items from local stores and supermarkets we then redistribute to the people that need it most. We also welcome donations. We understand that times are hard for a lot of people having to choose to eat or pay a bill so just by helping put food on the table could help brighten there day and help their financial strain. No one should go without. Along with this we are also doing our bit to help the environment. At save share and support we operate from a private residence which is registered with the food standard agency. People in need can find us through social media and at the moment word of mouth(we already have enquiries). We will identify service users by asking for proof of address and any supporting evidence that can show us they’re in need. Priority will go to these people (all kept confidential). Any food waste after will be offer to the local community via social media. Once service users are verified these people will be notified via what’s app of collections we have and will be Notified once ready for collection and collected straight away. This is a free service to help as said above and run by volunteers.

Hungry No More operates from the GL3 Hub in Churchdown, providing vital support to our community. We are open every Thursday morning to distribute food parcels, aiming to supply 3 to 4 days’ worth of food, depending on donations. In emergencies, parcels are available any day. As a dedicated food bank, we assist those in Churchdown and surrounding areas who are truly struggling. This includes individuals facing low income, job loss, furlough, or mental health challenges. On average we are now helping 45-55 households each week. Referrals come from health professionals, housing coaches, mental health workers, and individuals themselves. We do ask for information on their circumstances to better understand their needs. We maintain two Facebook pages: Hungry No More (closed for confidentiality) Innsworth and Beyond Hungry No More (open to the public) Please visit our open page to see what we do and view photos of our new setting. All donated food is given free of charge. Your support helps us continue making a difference.
