Sainsbury's Eccles Gilda Brook Road Local

We are Two Brews, a registered homeless charity (No. 1195358) based in Salford. We provide hot meals and drinks 7 nights a week to vulnerable people and rough sleepers. We are entirely self funded through donations and the kindness of local businesses large and small. We also work alongside other community groups and charities to distribute food parcels throughout our area.

Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise called Glass Mill Social Enterprise C.I.C. This is more than food and is part of a platform called RSBA1 (Response, Sustain, Build, Achieve). A free supportive services platform to help people get back on their feet. 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 happy 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 clothing to people facing a challenge. Whatever you can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. As everything given and everybody counts. 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 food donations can include fresh fruit, vegetables, bakery items and non perishables. 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 and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with your food donations. Therefore we need your help to ensure we can supply the demand in this crisis. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. We, therefore, are a platform for a voice to be heard in the community and share life changing stories. It would be great to have more partners become part of these stories in your local community. Looprun has also expanded into providing toiletries and brand new items of clothing. For further information and gallery access on the impact of Looprun please visit: Website: www.loopruninstore.org

At The Olive Branch Hub we provide a food-bank and drop-in centre twice a week. We offer free warm cooked food, sandwiches and activities. By offering this service twice a week, with structured support and themed days, we can cater to all cultures and demographics (above 18), improve social networks, reduce social isolation and improve their overall health and well being. We also offer cooking classes with an emphasis on nutritional recipes to help improve the health, independence and skills of the service users that attend. We work in a person-centred manner, offering a socially-inclusive environment for all people.
