Burntwood Be A Friend (BBAF) was born from crisis, founded during the Covid-19 pandemic with a singular aim: to ensure no one in our community felt forgotten. What began as a team of volunteers delivering essentials has since evolved into a dynamic, multi-faceted charity supporting over 850 households in Burntwood and its surrounding areas. From our Community Store and wellbeing walks to free cooking classes and counselling, BBAF listens to needs and responds with action.

We are a Burntwood charity ran by local people who focus on supporting families and putting our community first. We offer food support, friendship and volunteering opportunities whilst delivering a wide range of groups and workshops. We work closely with other local organisations and initiatives to strengthen connections, give opportunities to build brighter futures. With open arms we welcome those locally.
