Sainsbury's Leigh Atherleigh Way

Our goal is to support families in any way we can, physically , practically, spiritually and emotionally. We have a barnabas fund in place to help those in our local communities who need assistance and we aim to help those in need primarily through this fund. We have set up the Trading Post at our Hindley Green Church . It’s situated at the Bethel on Atherton road , Hindley Green. We are open Friday from 10-11 am and give away fresh food ( fruit / veg/ baked goods) plus cupboard staples. We are also open Saturday 10-11 am for fresh food only . We are thankful to neighbourly stores ( Aldi, M&S, Lidl) for their continued support, to Slimming World, Hindley Green and Daisy Daycare for their generous donations. We feed between 30-60 families a week from the community. Our aim is to take the pressure off ordinary families and as such we do not ask for referrals , it’s a ‘whosever will may come ‘ organisation . We want families in our community to live life to the full and we help in any way we can .

Our foodbank supports people in a time of crisis, helping to reduce poverty. This project was founded by local churches and community groups, working together towards stopping hunger in our local area. We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry, so we offer three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us. We're part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

The work of the centre as a community anchor is carried out by a team of staff and volunteers, who deliver services to the local area to meet the needs of local people. current activities improve the fitness and health, provide food for those in poverty, deliver early years education, improve life skills and employment opportunities and reduce isolation of local people.
