ALDI BRACKNELL - WOKINGHAM RD (opening 2027)

Supporting local people in need through established routes by collecting and redistributing waste food to charities, community groups and education settings free of charge. These groups can arrange a day for our collection to be delivered to them so they would not need their own volunteers. Operating within the Bracknell and local surrounding areas we can collect up to 30 minutes away from your drop off point. We have provided food parcels to numerous families requiring short term support due to illness, financial hardships and family breakdowns. We supply food to disadvantaged children through our Pret collections, ensuring children have a meal available for them three nights a week. Waste food is converted into healthy food for over 100 children, daily. We collect from LAdi and Pret a Manger, through Neighbourly and also from the Co-op through Caboodle. Local independent stores such as the Polish Deli in Easthampstead provide waste on an ad hoc basis.

we are looking to deliver surplus food to single parent families in Bracknell and Camberley We have been successfully doing this since covid and still going, we also do Easter and Christmas What premises does your project operate from? We do not have a premises in Bracknell, we are a taxi service so pick up the food and deliver it straight to oujr service uses. We have a head office in Barnsley. How do you identify service users and their needs? We have referral forms for users to complete and we have over 50,000 members over our social pages and get feedback of what is needed. Are there any other services provided by your organisation other than food support? Yes a lot, I have attached a flyer Is there a charge for the service(s) provided by your organisation? ALL our services are free Do you currently collect surplus food from any other retailers? yes co-ops direct and we use fareshare. Has there been local press or similar that demonstrates your organisation's work in the local community? Not for Bracknell recently I dont think but will check. Would it be possible to provide photographs of work that your organisation does in the local community? Yes these can be provided and I will get back into thanking stores with pictures when we collect but when we are low on volunteers it is hard to do it all. Ypu can see we are collecting as I have had complaints via the volunteers with stores. I can send you our current list for Bracknell referrals? Have you partnered with other local good causes or council members who may be able to provide a reference? If you would like to provide a reference from a local organisation, if you could ask them to email us at food@neighbourly.com as soon as possible, that would be great. We work with Farnbrough Food bank via the trussell trust and share at sunningdale
