Sainsbury's Hull

Cooperation Humber is a community food co-op based in Barton upon Humber. We are a non-profit membership group that offers its members quality groceries by sourcing and distributing food which would have otherwise been wasted. We charge a low weekly price, only to cover costs. The co-op is owned and organised by its members, who together decide if/and we buy in bulk on behalf of the members, and how to run the project. It is a non-profit collective, set up to meet members’ needs and is entirely controlled by the people who join it.

We run a Soup kitchen on a Monday evening in Hull we also support other Soup kitchens in Hull. We also offer advice on Benefits and sign post our service users to relevant agencies when needed and requested. We follow all data protection and safeguarding policies. We also support a local foodbank and 2 local schools with provisions for a breakfast club and a backpack for 15 of the most vulnerable pupils. We have also supplied many food parcels to help feed children during lockdown. We help 9 families on.low income with very little disposable income with regular food donations.

The Hub School is a specialist provision for students with Social Emotional Mental Health Needs. We are able to support our students by offering extra support for their emotional wellbeing as well as a tailored learning package. Our students are transported in door to door from across the East Riding of Yorkshire and we offer a free breakfast package and free school meals as well as snacks throughout the day. We work in conjunction with local foodbanks to support our families and help to enable them to have less pressure for some essential items. Many of our staff donate to ensure hampers are sent home at Christmas and Easter to every student on our site. Our belief is that The Hub School is transforming lives.
