Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise.

With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the impact stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare. Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, and brand new clothing to people facing a temporary challenge. Whatever supermarkets, stores, and retailers can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. This is a response to real people in real-time. No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service. Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes, soup kitchens and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with food donations. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. All are invited to become part of these sustainable stories in your local community.

CC Foundation is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families in need by addressing issues of food insecurity, employability, education, and housing stability. One of the foundation’s key programs is its food bank, which provides essential food to low-income families, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals. This initiative helps combat hunger and food poverty, which are critical issues in many communities. In addition to addressing food insecurity, CC Foundation focuses on employability by offering job training programs and career counselling services. These programs aim to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to secure stable employment, reducing their risk of long-term poverty. Education is another pillar of our foundation's mission. Through various educational initiatives, including tutoring, and literacy programs, CC Foundation ensures that individuals of all ages have access to quality education, which is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Every year, the foundation organizes a Turkey Drive during the Christmas season, providing families with the means to enjoy a hearty festive meal. This drive helps foster a sense of community and ensures that even during difficult times, families can celebrate together. Finally, CC Foundation works to prevent homelessness by offering emergency housing assistance and support services to those at risk.
