Here's how businesses create local impact through Neighbourly.
Through Neighbourly, Sainsbury's has donated surplus food, money and products, turning business resources into meaningful community impact.
Through Neighbourly, businesses donate resources to local good causes.
Support goes directly to charities and community organisations, helping them free up time and resources to focus on what matters most.
Whether it's a hot meal, essential products, a safe place to meet or someone to talk to, support reaches people in ways that make a real difference.
Together, these contributions create real, measurable impact in local communities. That's social value in action.

The Harvest Centre church has launched Harvest food parcels to help those in need. We realise that the pandemic this year has caused many people to find themselves in financial difficulty. No one should have to worry if they are going to be able to eat today or not. We try to reach people via social media and hand out parcels weekly to various people and families in the community.

Thetford, UK
We are a community cafe that opens once a week to anyone who needs food. We believe that no one in our community should ever need to be hungry or alone. We rely on food donations from Fareshare and Tesco at the moment but would love to be able to expand so that we can reach out to more people within the community, We have many homeless people who access our services and also are able to take clothes, blankets etc with them. We have young families on low income and single people who are lonely. We ask for anonymous donations for the food if people can afford it if not we are happy to take unopened dry/tinned food for a swap. If they are unable to do either we ask for a little time to be donated and many of the homeless will stay and help tidy up wash up etc as this keeps them in the warm a little longer and also helps us out. Meet'n'Eat is manned totally by volunteers of all ages and we aim to make it a great Thetford project. In just a year we have grown from making approximately 20-30 meals on a Wednesday evening to 100-150.

Thetford, UK
Thetford's homeless centre providing showers, laundry, clothing and refreshments for the homeless and vulnerable of Thetford. We open three days a week to provide support and friendship to those in danger of homelessness, who are homeless or are recovering from homelessness (in temporary accommodation). Many of our users or guests as we like to call them struggle with alcohol and drug issues. We are entirely volunteer led, so all funds and support go directly to our charitable activities. Our keys costs are renting the drop in centre and the provision of food. Each session we offer cheese toasties, pot noodles, biscuits and various breads. On Saturdays we also offer bacon butties, but due to the cost cannot do this at any other session. We would love to extend our refreshments, but costs do not currently allow it. The Breckland Rough Sleeper team attend the Wednesday sessions and help provide the pathway out of homelessness. They also provide advice and support on accessing benefits and the support of charities providing housing. We are always looking for help with food as well as more volunteers.
