Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise. This is more than food and is part of a supportive services platform to help people get sustained in their own individual way. 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.

Branching Out Retford is supported accommodation and we aim to provide a secure, stable environment for vulnerable 16-21 year olds who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or inappropriately housed. We aim to support people to improve their situation regarding housing, education, employment and in any other areas which they identify. We aim to provide young people with the skills and confidence for future independence. We offer high and intensive levels of support in a variety of areas including education, training, life skills, employment, substance misuse, family mediation, emotional wellbeing, finance, benefits, moving on and many more. When the young people have completed their support package with us and feel they are ready, we will support them to move into more appropriate accommodation or return to live within their family if this is safe and appropriate to do so. Branching Out Retford is staffed 24 hours a day by a variety of support, resettlement and night workers . We regularly review what time staff are available to make sure we are meeting the needs of the young people. Overnight support is provided by night workers who are there to keep the young people and our buildings safe. Each young person accessing the service is allocated a key worker and a person centred support package is put into place. If specialised support can not be provided by support staff the young person will be sign posted / referred to external professionals. There are also many opportunities for the young people get involved in other activities and wider community events. Staff will support and encourage young people to take part as much as they want. Tenants’ Meetings are held monthly and tenants’ representatives are elected to make sure the young people have their say. The young people may decide things like, how the properties are to be decorated, activities e.g. sports, days out, inviting speakers to the project. The young people will also be asked for their suggestions regarding the future direction of the project and these will be included in the project strategy. We rely heavily on donations from financial donations to support activities, food items to promote healthy eating, donations of clean bedding to pots, pans and cutlery. Any donations are welcome which will enable young people to live and lead a safe and healthy lifestyle.
