Sainsbury's Aldershot Ash Road Local

The Community Grub Hub CIC is a registered Community Interest Company (No. 13739432), set up in the heart of Aldershot in December 2021 to help residents of Rushmoor. Our story began as a response to the challenges of the pandemic, with a food hub at Princes Hall in Aldershot. What started as a partnership with the Park Church Food Larder evolved into the Community Grub Hub, finding a home in the ex-St John's Ambulance building in Windsor Way, Aldershot, close to the train station and town centre. Our main purpose is to; - Reduce food poverty in the local community - Help the environment by reducing food waste To achieve this we; - Run a food bank where people can get food and donate food - Collect and share food using local networks and partners In addition we; - Provide a friendly welcome space where people can relax and chat - Work with our partners to offer our visitors "signposting", including advice on jobs, benefits, housing, debt management, health and mental wellbeing. - Use of computers to develop digital skills and assist with searches and benefits.

Zero Hunger is a community-led food movement dedicated to reducing food insecurity, preventing loneliness, and tackling food waste across Hart, Rushmoor, Basingstoke & Deane and surrounding areas. We provide access to quality surplus food through our community outreach venues, helping individuals and families facing financial hardship while also creating welcoming, safe spaces where people can connect and feel supported. Our work helps save tonnes of perfectly good food from going to waste each year and redistributes it directly back into the community. We currently serve between 400 to 500 people and week. Alongside food support, we actively promote wellbeing, inclusion, and community engagement through volunteer opportunities and local partnerships. Our volunteers — known as Food Heroes — are at the heart of everything we do and help us create a positive, non-judgemental environment for everyone who accesses our services. We are always grateful for support in the form of surplus food donations, volunteers, and community partnerships. Additional support allows us to expand our outreach, reach more vulnerable people, and continue building stronger, healthier communities where no one goes hungry or feels alone.

we are looking to deliver surplus food to single parent families in Bracknell and Camberley We have been successfully doing this since covid and still going, we also do Easter and Christmas What premises does your project operate from? We do not have a premises in Bracknell, we are a taxi service so pick up the food and deliver it straight to oujr service uses. We have a head office in Barnsley. How do you identify service users and their needs? We have referral forms for users to complete and we have over 50,000 members over our social pages and get feedback of what is needed. Are there any other services provided by your organisation other than food support? Yes a lot, I have attached a flyer Is there a charge for the service(s) provided by your organisation? ALL our services are free Do you currently collect surplus food from any other retailers? yes co-ops direct and we use fareshare. Has there been local press or similar that demonstrates your organisation's work in the local community? Not for Bracknell recently I dont think but will check. Would it be possible to provide photographs of work that your organisation does in the local community? Yes these can be provided and I will get back into thanking stores with pictures when we collect but when we are low on volunteers it is hard to do it all. Ypu can see we are collecting as I have had complaints via the volunteers with stores. I can send you our current list for Bracknell referrals? Have you partnered with other local good causes or council members who may be able to provide a reference? If you would like to provide a reference from a local organisation, if you could ask them to email us at food@neighbourly.com as soon as possible, that would be great. We work with Farnbrough Food bank via the trussell trust and share at sunningdale
