ALDI BRIDLINGTON - ST JOHN'S ST

A christian movement committed to putting belief into action: taking a holistic approach, engaging with physical, emotional and spiritual needs, offering services without discrimination. in addition to christian worship. Services include practical assistance for the homeless, families and people in need, crisis support, emergency food parcels and free hot food for those who need it the most. There is also a Charity shop that uses its donations to raise money for the ongoing work and helps to clothe and supply essential items to people and families who need help.

Re-Store is a drop-in for people with accommodation or financial issues. It is held in the church hall between 11.00 and Noon on Mondays and Wednesdays. We provide food, clothing, bedding and crockery as required by our callers, we give what we can and if there are things that we don't have they are referred to The Christ Church Warehouse, electrical equipment is tested there so they can often help out people who don't have anything. If people can make a £1 donation that is great but many are unable to do this. We are funded by private donations. Numbers are fairly stable at the moment with around 35-40 calls per week in the two one- hour slots. We have good supplies from both Fare Share in Hull and Tesco in Bridlington. Our aim is to liaise more closely with the families- work based in the Hub as some people are still loathe to come to Doorstep as they feel they should be able to manage and don’t like to ask. We have a brilliant team of volunteers who are dedicated to helping out each week and where they can. It is our hearts to help those who are lost and broken in life. We are hear to listen to them and talk if they need to. sometimes what people need is just some communication and understanding.

The Children's Centre in Bridlington supports the whole family. We work with children and families from antenatally to children up to aged 11. At the Children's Centre we work with many vulnerable families in our area to offer support and advice through sessions, activities and 1-1 work. At the Children's Centre we offer a range of activities and services for children and their families to give every child the best start in life. All of the sessions we run are completely free of charge. Children's Centres work with Mum's, Dad's, Carers, Grandparentrs and Foster Carers. Our team are passionate and work together. The surplus stock collected makes a huge difference to the children, young people and families we work with by providing food and household items so desperately needed. Since joining neighbourly we are now supporting many families each week and working with community partners who signpost families our way to collect the surplus food.
