Sainsbury's Bridgwater

YMCA Dulverton Group offer a range of services and support to the communities we serve in Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater and West Somerset. Young people are at our core. We believe in young people and we believe in creating transformational communities in which they can truly belong, contribute and thrive. Our services include accommodation, family work and health and well-being. We also have a training and education service in which we provide training and apprenticeship opportunities to the young people and communities that we support. These apprenticeships offer that little bit extra experience needed to complete a CV or to build upon the skills they already have.

We are a charity run preschool who have children from the age of 2 until they reach school age. We are a large setting who have children from all different backgrounds. We firmly believe in that all children deserve the same start in life. That includes children having food! We like all other Early years settings are really struggling with the low funding from the Government and the ever increasing cost of living, so any help is very much appreciated to enable we continue to give our children the best start in life! We provide breakfast to our children who attend breakfast clubs, we then provide snack twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon. We have 52 children in at one time. We then help out our families with any surplus food, which they are very grateful for. We use nappies and wipes for our families who can't afford to provide nappies. We use lots of malleable products for sensory and play exploration, we have attached pictures of some of our tuff trays showing malleable items we received from surplus collections. All donations we receive from surplus are freely given and made available to our users. - Education/training - Children/young people - Provides services

We work with over 40 local agencies who issue food bank vouchers to families and individuals that are in financial crisis. We collect donated food from local businesses, supper markets, churches and private individuals. We are doing our utmost to reduce food poverty within the local community. Over the last 12 months we have fed over 2500 individuals.
