Sainsbury's Bodmin

Remake: Cornwall is a repurpose and reuse organisation which is passionate about keeping food, textiles and furniture from landfill. For the past six months we have provided a daily community fridge facility supported by 13 volunteer drivers and fridge hosts to support over 150 families each week from across cornwall. Yesterday we distributed 21 meat hampers to families by collaborating with Isabel Rose Farm & coop stores. We don't request data or information , we do support needy families also, but the key is for the whose community to access food waste and so far not a single item we have received has gone to landfill. Please see our Facebook page Remake: Cornwall for more information, our fridge is hosted Monday - Saturday 10-10.30 as follows: Monday - Tanyas Courage Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - Prosperity Hub Friday & Saturday - Tanyas Courage *** Prosperity Hub 86 Stennacks Lane, Holmbush, St Austell PL25 3JQ Tanyas Courage, Par Moor Road, Par PL24

Working for the families in the Gover Division of St Austell. Distributing food, helping those families who need it and preventing food going to landfill. We collect surplus food from our partners that they no longer need and distribute it to families through our Community via our Larder days, thus reducing hunger and waste at the same time. What started as a post Covid need during school holidays in 2020, we are now into our 6th year and the need continues to grow. We currently operate from a 20ft porta cabin situated on a private premises where there is plenty of parking. The address is 1a Gover Road, St Austell Cornwall. Customers come to us from word of mouth, through the local Health Hub The Food Bank, through posters etc. When a customer comes to us for the first time, I have a chat with them to ascertain whether they have any dietry needs, cooking facilities etc. If homeless and no cooking facilities, we have a stock of ration packs which we can give out that only need water. Similarly with customers who are staying in a travel lodge where there is only a kettle. Because we pay a £3000 membership to Fareshare for a weekly delivery of food which includes fruit and veg, we ask for a small donation of £2. For that the customer has at least one large bag full of food. If they don't have any money, that is no problem as there are a couple of benefactors who pay forward to cover anyone who is struggling financially.

KBSK was founded in 2012 later becoming a CIC in 2018. Bodmin is known for being one of the most deprived areas in Cornwall with one of the highest crime rates. Our projects have become an open and accessible space, reaching in the hundreds of young people and children a week, working with families that are coming from financial and social deprivation, struggles with mental health and children with many complex and additional needs including children with Autism, ADHD and children who are deaf and partially sighted. We believe the preventative action in the services of KBSK is vital not only for our young people but for our community. Over the years KBSK has organically become a support mechanism for the local community . We support people in times of need with: food parcel deliveries, essential supplies, making referrals to drug and alcohol services, mental health support services, domestic violent help and support as well as rape and sexual assault helplines and delivering and supporting with crisis plans. As well as providing food parcels with surplus food we provide food/snacks for up to 250 children and young people a week during social dance classes, youth nights, and outreach to local council hub.
