ALDI TARLETON - LIVERPOOL RD

Rev Dave and Gill have now retired from Parish work but the local Churches continues to look after those in need. If you need emergency help, please contact Our Lady, Help of Christians, Tarleton or the Compassion Acts Food Pantry on Monday mornings at Tarleton Methodist Church. The Aldi contributions continue to be administered by Rev Dave and volunteers get the donations to our clients and those in need. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Rev Dave and Gill

Compassion Acts supports adults and children facing hardship by providing emergency food through Southport Foodbank, in line with The Trussell guidelines. Alongside this, we run Food Pantries, a Community Market and offer benefits advice, including advocacy and support at benefit tribunals. Our projects are delivered across the North Sefton area. While the Foodbank provides vital emergency assistance for people in crisis, its support is designed to be short term. Many families and individuals continue to struggle once the immediate crisis has passed. Our Food Pantry helps bridge that gap by offering members the opportunity to shop for around £30 worth of groceries each week for just £5, choosing the items that best suit their household. Val turned to Compassion Acts after facing a long wait for her benefits. Referred first to the Foodbank and then to the Food Pantry, she found more than just practical support. "I was full of panic and anxiety, wondering how I was going to cope if I ended up on the street. The volunteers at the Food Pantry were lovely. It gave me back my confidence and self-esteem. Without going there and meeting people, who knows what could have happened?"

Tackling social isolation, food insecurity and waste.
