Zero hunger

we are a local community organisation working together to help our society during hard times , who ever they're from babies to elderly people If you need us ..our door is always open. for many years we proudly supported our local food bank and community groups to reach out for anyone in need . We help supply food parcels, small grants, cloth and appliances for those who struggle specially families with school age children and elderly individuals.

Our grass roots, not for profit group has been set up entirely by volunteers living in the community we want to support, in response to the cost of living crisis and the post-Covid loneliness epidemic. We have big plans and have started with a Community Pantry. In the 4 weeks we have been operational, we have signed up 58 households in the neighbourhood and distributed close to 300kg of food, much of which would otherwise have gone to landfill. We have sourced the food from supermarket partners set up via Neighbourly. The project has been extremely well received by the community, but at the moment we are working from a temporary base while we arrange funding for more permanent premises, which we hope to set up on our local allotments site. Once we have our own space, we have ambitious plans for cook-a-longs, social gatherings for those isolated people in our community and pop-up sessions with other local support groups, energy providers, councillors and charities.
