Compassion Acts supports adults and children facing hardship by providing emergency food through Southport Foodbank, in line with The Trussell guidelines. Alongside this, we run Food Pantries, a Community Market and offer benefits advice, including advocacy and support at benefit tribunals. Our projects are delivered across the North Sefton area. While the Foodbank provides vital emergency assistance for people in crisis, its support is designed to be short term. Many families and individuals continue to struggle once the immediate crisis has passed. Our Food Pantry helps bridge that gap by offering members the opportunity to shop for around £30 worth of groceries each week for just £5, choosing the items that best suit their household. Val turned to Compassion Acts after facing a long wait for her benefits. Referred first to the Foodbank and then to the Food Pantry, she found more than just practical support. "I was full of panic and anxiety, wondering how I was going to cope if I ended up on the street. The volunteers at the Food Pantry were lovely. It gave me back my confidence and self-esteem. Without going there and meeting people, who knows what could have happened?"

D Hub 67 CIC is a grassroots community hub based in Seacombe, Wirral, supporting individuals and families facing increasing pressure from the cost-of-living crisis. Our hub provides access to surplus food, warm meals, community activities and wellbeing support for local residents experiencing financial hardship, isolation and rising living costs. We redistribute surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, helping households reduce food costs while also supporting a more sustainable approach to food use. On most days between 60 and 80 people attend the hub to access food support, and recently almost 300 people queued in a single morning, highlighting the growing need within our community. Alongside food provision, D Hub 67 offers a welcoming space where people can connect with others, share meals and take part in activities that support wellbeing and confidence. We run cooking sessions focused on preparing affordable meals using surplus ingredients, family cooking activities and an eco-friendly community garden created using donated plants and seeds. Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Many of our volunteers first came to the hub for support themselves and now play a vital role in welcoming visitors, sorting food and helping run activities. Their involvement ensures the hub remains community-led and responsive to local needs. We are also introducing one-to-one wellbeing coaching sessions delivered by a qualified Health and Wellbeing Coach with previous experience working within the Primary Care Network supporting patients through GP practices. These sessions provide a safe space for people to talk about challenges they are facing and receive guidance and signposting to further support services where needed. D Hub 67 works closely with local organisations across Wirral to connect people with additional support including mental health services, domestic abuse support, financial advice and family support services. Through our work we aim to create a safe, welcoming space where people feel supported, valued and connected to their community. Support from businesses and volunteers through Neighbourly helps us continue responding to growing need and strengthen the support available to local residents.
