Sainsbury's Leeds Street Lane Local

We are a local group of volunteers providing the people of North Leeds with all sorts of groups, events or basically whatever they need to help them with life. We require volunteers, helpers, any items that can assist us do what we do. As a charity we run numerous groups for the local community including a stay and play session, fitness classes to name a few. We also do community projects and hold events throughout the year. The surplus will be used at the groups and also as part of the food exchange programme where members of the community use the food and create meals and then pass on their excess to other residents.....it is a unique idea but we find it is well recieved.

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, pet food, brand new clothing and gifts 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.
