Heavens Kitchen in the Community https://www.facebook.com/share/16MK28Ht1u/ Non Profit project, normally self funded except when funding via neighbourly & businesses is offered to us. Our project helps people in our community - homeless, sofa surfing, families in emergency accommodations, some claiming benefits, people on very low incomes, Refugees & Asylum seekers. All our people were identified to us as being in need via other community groups who we support. When we've got an abundance of donations it is distributed to all mentioned, anything left that's non food is given to our local Hospice charity shop. Food we're given is distributed immediately. We don't get help from any other retailers that are not mentioned. We don't charge anything for what we give or do. We also support other local community projects. We are partnered with Aldi Stalybridge, Aldi Hyde, Lidl Denton, M&S Ashton, Sainsbury's Ashton and Curry's Ashton Moss. Currys on the Snipe & Lidl Denton host food bank containers dedicated to HK. We also have B&Q Ashton who donate stuff whenever they can. Besides collecting & distributing food & non food donations, we have linked our long standing defibrillator work to HK. Operating in the community under the Heavens Kitchen Banner . This means our defibrillator work continues since 2014. We can hopefully place more PAD's into our local Towns in the future. We also acquire items via shout outs for our families i.e. clothing, household items to help those who cannot afford things. Currently we're working on Mary Bags which are end of life tote bags - essential items for families staying over in hospital / hospice self care packages in beautiful bags. Heavens Kitchen supports our local We Shall Overcome non profit organisation run by Pauline Town MBE. If we get enough groceries from surplus then we share with her for the homeless. Personally HK buy chocolate / cereal bars / crisps / snacks / cakes etc for the 150+ homeless and underprivileged people in Tameside who collect food parcels from WSO on a daily basis we help provide our support to WSO for one day a week. We support 14 residencies that have struggling people / families who are seeking asylum or who are refugees & a couple on extremely low income. Added to this we also support 22 emergency housing residencies that all host several people in each self contained bedsit. We also support the food banks in Tameside with food collections and from the supermarket customer donation points. We would love some help with funding to help buy supplies in a more structured way to ensure a regular weekly supply for all our people / families i.e. good fresh varied in date food. Funding when we get it, is spent within no time at all. All the support we get is a very welcome source that helps us deliver to people in need. Looking forward to any help available Dawn

The Together Centre is a fully, accessible community hub dedicated to building well-being and resilience for local individuals and families. We serve a diverse community, including those navigating disabilities (LD, Autism, ADHD, SEN), mobility challenges, mental health diagnoses, bereavement, isolation, or financial hardship. The Support We Offer: •Dignified Essentials: Our Food Pantry and Charity Shop provide a lifeline of low-cost food, clothing, and household goods, ensuring no one is left behind during the cost-of-living crisis. •Pathways to Purpose: We champion inclusive employment and volunteering, using our centre and community garden to restore self-worth and build lifelong professional skills. • Volunteering into Opportunity: Our volunteering programme gives people the chance to rebuild confidence, develop skills and feel valued. Many who first come to us for support or wellbeing activities go on to volunteer, creating a positive next step towards greater independence, purpose and community involvement. •Combatting Isolation: From chair exercise and dancing, crafts to social games of pool and local walks, we create welcoming spaces where loneliness is replaced by a true sense of belonging. •Sustainable Futures: Our allotment teaches families "grow-your-own" sustainability, while our delivery service provides 55 nutritious, two-course meals weekly to those homebound by health challenges. Why It Matters We don't just provide services—we build a foundation of pride and independence. By bridging the gap between crisis support and long-term skill-building, we empower our community to thrive.
