PATH Torbay is a local community, non profit charity. We are run and supported totally by volunteers. We help those who find themselves homeless. Path also support individuals and families at risk of homelessness, vulnerable or in crisis. We also offer support to individuals and families in food poverty across Torbay. PATH provides a food bank, evening hot food and supplies. We signpost to all local responsible charities and local authority services. PATH is also part of the Torbay food Alliance and works in partnership with all other food banks in our local area.

Torbay United are providing help from locations across Torbay under the YUM Bus Project! YUM stands for YOU+US = MORE and incorporates a social supermarket and food-bank provision. This mobile social supermarket runs from a converted minibus reaching people who might find it hard to access current food support schemes in a fixed location. This project has the full support of Torbay council who are providing funding towards sustainable service provision, and integrates with wider Torbay Food Alliance initiatives . Food items, personal items and household items are stocked, including packet, refrigerated and fresh produce, and even some items specifically for the newly-born and family pets. It works on a renewable membership basis, that is means-tested to ensure those in most need receive the support they require. Individuals may be eligible for a 50% or larger reduction on their food expenses, depending on their eligibility. The model seeks to both enhance dignity during difficult times, as well as avoid dependency on a permanent basis. We would love to serve those who require help! With thanks and love,

Newton Abbot Community Fridge is based at The Courtenay Centre in Newton Abbot and is run by Newton Abbot Community Centres CIO and a team of volunteers. We collect food that would go to waste and offer it to the local community to take as needed free of charge. We hope to work towards preventing food waste whilst offering local people a helping hand.
