Hi, it's Sarah & Dawn who for the last 18 months have run The Cupboard Elton. We are now starting under our own umbrella. We aim to help the most vulnerable in our community. We believe it's a basic human right to have access to food. As a community project, we strive to achieve zero waste. So many families are struggling through this cost of living crisis & we endeavor to make life a bit easier for them. We continue to support our local community by working in partnership with other charities, offering free packed lunches to all primary-aged children throughout the school holidays. Throughout the summer holidays, we can provide ice cream to the community. We have also supplied it to the out-of-school club, The Table Ellesmere Port, and the Messy church. Supporting our local Church with the Pensioner's afternoon tea and the soup kitchen. This is run every month but throughout Lent, this becomes a weekly event. We deliver food parcels to the elderly who are less mobile. We hope to be in a position to help more organizations within our village and surrounding areas We can provide information and support about the local food bank and other charities that can also provide support to the most vulnerable. We are operating from the Anchorage at the Elton Church Hall.

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?"
