Sainsbury's Banbury Warwick Road Local

We go out and collect good quality food that would end up in the bin we make food parcels up for vulnerable families or elderly that can’t make it to the Community fridge and then everything else we give away to the public. We’ve been running for five years now we support round 300 people a week we open up four times a week and especially with the summer holidays now families are finding it really really difficult we like to help where we can. This doesn’t just help people that can get the food the Volunteers that come and help get so much from this and some of them don’t get out of the village and it’s a good interaction. It gives them a purpose of something good to do we a very good community we do lots of fundraising for running costs and our Xmas Hampers which brings a lot of joy for everybody around two.

Chasewell Nursery, known as Chasewell Playgroup, is a small, charity-run early years setting based in Banbury, providing a warm, nurturing and inclusive environment for children aged 2–4 years. We believe childhood should be filled with curiosity, kindness, creativity and play. Our experienced team supports every child as an individual, helping them to grow in confidence, develop friendships and build the skills they need for school and beyond. As a pack-away setting with a strong community feel, we make the most of every opportunity to create exciting learning experiences both indoors and outdoors. From sensory play and messy activities to forest school visits, bug hunts, construction challenges and storytelling adventures, our curriculum is designed to spark imagination and encourage children to explore the world around them. We are passionate about supporting all children, including those with additional needs, and work closely with families to ensure every child feels safe, valued and able to thrive. Being a charity means we are deeply rooted in our local community, with every decision focused on providing the very best experiences for children and families. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with parents and creating a welcoming environment where children are happy, supported and excited to learn every day.

About Breadline Project Community PantryHow Our Food Redistribution WorksThe Breadline Project Community Pantry operates on a dignified, membership-based redistribution model rather than a traditional food bank system. To support our community sustainably, members pay a small service charge of £4 per visit. In return, this fee grants them the dignity of choice, allowing them to select an array of fresh produce, chilled items, and ambient store-cupboard staples worth significantly more.Members are free to choose what they need, and limitations on quantities only apply to specific low-stock items to ensure everyone in the community gets a fair share. This small financial contribution removes the stigma often associated with emergency food aid, provides an authentic shopping experience, and directly funds our community hub's essential running costs, such as refrigeration, storage, and logistics.Our Emergency Care PolicyWhile we run a membership model, we believe no one should go hungry. We provide immediate emergency food support completely free of charge and without fees to any individuals or families facing severe crisis or immediate financial hardship.How We Use Neighbourly FoodEvery item of surplus food we rescue through Neighbourly is used exclusively to stock our pantry shelves or supply our emergency provisions. We operate on a strict non-profit basis; no profit is ever made from donated food. The items received from our partners go directly into the hands of local low-income individuals and families who are experiencing food insecurity. By bridging the gap between food waste and community need, we ensure that high-quality surplus food provides vital, nutritious support to those who need it most in our local area.
