Sainsbury's Nations House Local

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.

Ibijoke Children Foundation UK is a Liverpool-based charity organisation supporting children, young people, families and individuals experiencing poverty, financial hardship, food insecurity and other barriers to a stable and healthy life. We provide practical support through our emergency food bank and Cultural Community Food Pantry, distributing affordable and culturally appropriate food, fresh fruit and vegetables, toiletries, clothing and essential household items. We also provide information, advice and signposting around welfare, employment, financial resilience, energy costs, housing and other support services. Alongside our food support, we run activities that help people build confidence, skills and independence, including homework and digital inclusion sessions for children and young people, healthy cookery activities, job searching, CV and application support, employability advice and financial literacy. We also work with volunteers and community partners to make better use of surplus food and reduce food waste. We support people from diverse communities, including families, migrants and people facing financial hardship. We aim to provide a welcoming, respectful and inclusive service where people can access practical help without stigma. The support our organisation needs most is funding, surplus food and essential goods, to help us continue and strengthen our services for people in need across our community. Core funding would help us meet essential running costs and maintain our emergency food parcels and food pantry, advice, digital inclusion, employability, healthy cookery and community support services, ensuring that vulnerable children, young people and families can continue to access practical support when they need it. Our vision is to empower children, young people and families to thrive by meeting immediate needs while helping people build stronger, more financially resilient futures.

New Beginnings - Improving Lives CIC run's a mixture of different services right across Liverpool. We run Men and Women Mental Health Boxing projects. A City wide Foodbank Delivery service for those who are in extreme poverty. Some of those referrals may be people who have been placed by the City council in accommodation without cooking facilities although we are not funded by the Council. We have recently opened up a Community store in Tuebrook in a very deprived area selling surplus and damaged goods and very low prices, we also offer other services here too like Computer and WIFI access.
