Sainsbury's Devizes

We are a large volunteer based Charity operating across the Wiltshire area. Our volunteers use donated food to share with local families, individuals and organisations who are most in need. We are currently under pressure to meet the increasing need to help people who cannot afford food, whilst also experiencing a big decrease in the amount of food we receive due to less available food and many more people buying food from the reduced price sections. If you are a business with surplus food, would like to make a donation, volunteer or are in need of some food, please contact us.

We offer supervised family time for children who have been removed from their parents care, we also offer intervention and support within family homes. The majority of the families we are working with are experiencing low incomes and are unable to afford the basics like hot water and food. We would like to be able to collect surplus food/fruit/veg to ensure our families are able to have a cooked meal each week.

The Caenhill Countryside Centre is set in mid Wiltshire on a 70 acre farm which is run as a rural learning centre. It delivers courses and workshops to involve children and young people in rural outside learning, the rural food chain, countryside crafts and skills. We are supported by a team of volunteers willing to develop the farm into a suitable environment for learning and pass on skills to young people. We are helped by help for heroes and groups that use the farm to improve their members well-being. Our motto touching hearts and living souls sums up the special atmosphere at the farm . We recycle materials for building, feed for animals and the volunteers and forage for items that will benefit the young people and the animals. We are developing links with as many local interest groups and skills providers as we can to enable the Centre to be a thriving and useful hub. Our courses so far have included, agriculture, horticulture, bee keeping, the local food chain, animal management, rural foods, field detectives, foraging, puddling and more. Our latest work is around renovate buildings, repairing workspaces, building rescue animal area, a craft studio, developing a memory woodland, planting crop areas making it a sustainable and usable project.
