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.

We work with the community to gather and distribute emergency food parcels to households dealing with food insecurity, increase public awareness of the conditions that lead to food poverty, and establish projects that support people before a food parcel is needed. Providing emergency food parcels is the core of what we do, and we have seen a year-on-year increase since the charity was established. We deliver these to ensure that they are accessible to anyone in need. We also offer a subsidised Fruit & Veg' Box scheme to households on means tested benefits at an affordable price to increase access to healthy food, run a mobile community shop which provides affordable food to rural areas in ‘food deserts’ in Bassetlaw, operate a retail operation to raise funds for the charity and run ‘Grow it, Fix it’, an allotment, orchard and white goods repair project. We also run BFB Hive, a project that includes a café, extending our existing lunch club to offer more sessions, an advice and guidance service with partner agencies such as Citizens Advice, and a laundrette.
