Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise called Glass Mill Social Enterprise C.I.C. This is more than food and is part of a platform called RSBA1 (Response, Sustain, Build, Achieve). A free supportive services platform to help people get back on their feet. 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 happy 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, and clothing to people facing a challenge. Whatever you can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. As everything given and everybody counts. 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 food donations can include fresh fruit, vegetables, bakery items and non perishables. 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 and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with your food donations. Therefore we need your help to ensure we can supply the demand in this crisis. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. We, therefore, are a platform for a voice to be heard in the community and share life changing stories. It would be great to have more partners become part of these stories in your local community. Looprun has also expanded into providing toiletries and brand new items of clothing. For further information and gallery access on the impact of Looprun please visit: Website: www.loopruninstore.org

AJ Café CIC: A Professional Community Food Hub in Britwell AJ Café CIC is a dedicated, volunteer-led community lifeline based in the Britwell Hub, Slough. We operate a professional food rescue network, collecting surplus from major supermarkets six days a week. This rescued food is dedicated entirely to providing essential food parcels for local families in need, ensuring that high-quality surplus reaches those who need it most. Our mission is rooted in social and mental wellbeing. At our AJ Café, we serve quality, low-cost breakfasts and paninis using fresh ingredients to support residents through the cost-of-living crisis. This spirit of connection continues through our "Come Dine With Me" project, where community members cook and eat together to build lasting friendships and combat isolation. We are committed to the next generation through our Mentoring and Employment initiatives. Every last Saturday of the month, we provide young people with professional barista training and safety mentoring, giving them the skills and confidence to build a brighter future. From our Monday Warm Space to our crisis meal support, we ensure that no one in our community is left behind, using food to nourish, connect, and empower.
