ALDI STIRCHLEY

We are a group of folks who come together to support our fellow Brummies through crisis... and the crisis is far from over. Since March 2020 we have supported thousands of individuals and families across the city with: food parcels Christmas presents birthday cakes Easter eggs and even phones and laptops donated by the community. We have supported homeless and youth projects, those with no recourse to public funds or housebound, in tempory accommodation, refugees and migrants... ...all this with no questions asked because no one should have to sing for their supper! We are continuing our work in Kings Heath and beyond in solidarity with communities and neighbours. We are an open group, so if you have ideas, good energy, or just time to spare... JOIN US!!!

MAGC aims to support vulnerable members of our community via an alternative way of giving. MAGC encourages members of the community to donate money via collection tins in local shops or online rather than giving money directly to those asking for change on the street. Grants can be applied for and given to support people - furnishing their new accommodation, travel or clothing for example. We also have a part-time Neighbourhood Outreach Worker working in Moseley identifying rough sleepers, people asking for money on the streets, people with drug and alcohol issues and people at the risk of homelessness offering advice and support.

FoodCycle runs volunteer-powered community projects across the UK – all working to reduce food poverty and social isolation by serving tasty, nutritious meals to vulnerable people. Since we started cooking in May 2009, our incredible volunteers have served over 125,000 meals made using over 146,000kg of surplus food – the equivalent saving of 657,000kg CO2 emissions.
