Sainsbury's Chesterfield

Living Hope Food Bank is based in Holmewood . We saw the need in 2011 and started giving out a few food hampers. It soon escalated as the need around us grew, and we now give out approximately 40/50 hampers in Holmewood on a weekly basis. We run a small Charity Shop in Holmewood to support the project. We are all volunteers so there are no salaried workers. Every donation is gratefully received and goes to homes where there are real needs. We have professionals such as C.A.B., Social Services, Mat workers, Drs. Surgeries. Social Services, and many more referring people to us. We open on Wednesdays from 12 to 1.30pm but run a 24/7 emergency service where people can contact us and we will see that they receive help.

Holy Trinity Community Café – Supporting Our Neighbourhood Holy Trinity is a Parish Church located close to Chesterfield College. We offer a friendship Tea and Toast café as part of our commitment to being a warm, welcoming space for anyone in our community who may be feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or in need of support. We provide free breakfasts and hot drinks to anyone who needs them – no questions asked. People come to us for warmth, food, friendship, and conversation. Some come for a break from work, others for company, and many simply for a sense of belonging. We regularly welcome those who are lonely, homeless, or struggling in other ways. Our Tea and Toast café is also a space for signposting to other services, and we work in partnership with Chesterfield College and local mental health teams. We provide placements for students and create opportunities for shared learning, growth, and care. We offer access to a small emergency food bank and frozen supermarket meals.

Provision of services, human resources, help & advice to those in need in the local area and further afield, of any age or background. We are currently running a project called Re:Store; a community cafe and food service where anyone in the local area can come for a drink and a chat before accessing our food service. Entry to the food service costs £2, and allows people to collect short dated food, which would otherwise be wasted, and use it to feed their families. So as well as combatting food waste, we are helping families in need and providing an opportunity for them to meet up with others over a free coffee. Entry to Re:Store is open to anyone living in an S18 postcode. There is a waiting list for the food service but the cafe can be used by anyone.
