Looprun Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton, UK
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.

Dovecotes TMO
Wolverhampton, UK
At Dovecotes TMO, we are dedicated to supporting our residents and building a strong, connected community. Over the past three years, we’ve faced a number of challenges: increasing demand for support during the cost of living crisis, rising repair costs, contractor shortages, and ongoing environmental and anti-social behaviour issues. On top of this, we’ve worked hard to re-engage residents after the pandemic, all while managing limited funding opportunities.
How We Help
Despite these challenges, we remain committed to providing practical and emotional support for our residents. Many new residents move into our properties facing financial hardship, and we work closely with them to access support, advice, and resources. Our staff actively respond to housing issues, coordinate repairs, and run community projects that bring people together. We also work in partnership with local agencies to tackle environmental concerns and anti-social behaviour, keeping Dovecotes a safe and welcoming place to live.
What We Need
To continue making a difference, we need the support of our community and partners. Funding, volunteers, and in-kind support allow us to provide essential services, run community activities, and assist residents facing financial and social challenges. Every contribution helps us ensure that residents not only have a home but a supportive and thriving community around them.
