Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise. This is more than food and is part of a supportive services platform to help people get sustained in their own individual way. With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the impact stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare. Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, pet food, brand new clothing and gifts to people facing a temporary challenge. Whatever supermarkets, stores, and retailers can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. This is a response to real people in real-time. No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service. Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes, soup kitchens and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with food donations. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained, thus creating a loop cycle. All are invited to become part of these sustainable stories in your local community.

The charity has launched a Community Fridge in a small shop in windsor in june 2021 The short dated food that is currently picked up from local supermarkets is now given out in our community fridge which the charity opened on June 7th 2021 This short dated food which would normally be either given to charities for free, or thrown away and wasted and would end up in landfill or in to waste , the charity now collects short dated and surplus food and it is given to anyone who can rescue it and use it. We help around 150 people a week who access the community fridge from the homeless who have been placed in local bed and breakfasts, to families and people who may be struggling financially and or experiencing food poverty and food insecurity. we are open Tuesday to Friday 11-12pm and we also run a community fridge pop on Saturdays every month in different locations

The West Windsor Hub has been set up in response to Covid-19 to support the most vulnerable and isolated members of the community in an area of high deprivation. The hub is run by volunteers with the support of a local church, Ward Councillors and Community Wardens. The support offered is for those without family or friends to supply emergency food parcels, medicine/prescription collections and regular telephone calls to reduce social isolation. Currently sourcing food has become an issue, due to the demand and the food bank is also having to limit the amount of vouchers they can fill due to the increased demand over a short time. If successful the West Windsor Hub will work closely to distribute any food received to ensure it is placed where there is most need.
