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, and brand new clothing 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.

Open Door Sanctuary is a Christian Church and registered charity which works closely with local communities within Milton Keynes and across Northamptonshire. The Church serves as a place of hope for both Spiritual and Physical nourishment for locals. The emphasis is really on the community where the doors are opened to support with not only with food items but also engaging people via mental health workshops to support and improve their wellbeing. We identify service users and their needs by interacting with the community on one-to-one basis and also through bespoke meetings and workshops. We also provide other various including when they are ill and recovering after being in hospital. We send them food parcels like fruits, drinks, water to help meet their needs. We do not only support with food support but also offer counselling, prayers, fundraising activities in the community towards providing help for families and people with special needs and disability. There is not a charge for services. We have partnered with other local groups to help support people with disabilities. One of them - Hopeful Vessels Community Group, Looprun and Salvation Army - Milton Keynes. We intend to reach out beyond Old Farm Park areas with Food Bank donations especially on Sundays as most Food Banks may not be opened. This will increase our scope of serving the community and surrounding local areas during out of hours. There is footage that demonstrates our organisation's work in the local communit – see below details/pictures of Food bank and Community Teatime: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1059802955102673?s=chYV2B&fs=e Details / Pictures from a fundraising to support local Community Group by Hopeful Vessels, which is a Community Group in Milton Keynes supporting families and children with disabilities.
