Community Fridge

As a community charity, we are aware of some of the struggles that residents face. We understand that just because someone struggles with food does not mean that this is all they are struggling with.

Food poverty is a huge issue and we endeavour to establish the entire needs of the individual or family when we deliver food parcels. This will help us to accommodate special occasions, such as Christmas or birthdays and ensure they feel special in some way e.g. adding presents or cake for birthdays or sweets for children etc. This brings more of a sense of normality for them.

We also have an established network of organisations who refer residents to us for additional support (such as hospitals, schools, local councils, social care workers). Given the current economic situation and the linked cost-of-living crisis, we aim to capture the needs of each individual to provide our best service, e.g. food and hygiene parcels, online chats, sign posting further support, free activities, books, etc.
