“The volunteers at the foodbank were so lovely, they listened to me and made me feel human again. It was the first place I didn’t feel judged.”
We know that crisis can strike anyone and we also understand how difficult it can be to think about walking through a foodbank door. That’s why our foodbank volunteers aim to welcome everyone who comes to the foodbank with compassion, kindness and a listening ear.
Meeting your needs
We want to make sure that we give you the right food to meet your needs, so please do let your referrer know if you have any special dietary requirements or allergies, for example, gluten free, halal or vegetarian. This information will then be included on your ‘e-voucher’. Your foodbank voucher will be exchanged for three days of emergency food.
Practical guidance and support
Foodbank volunteers are able to take the time to listen and support you. So, please, do talk to then about your needs. They are specially trained to know about local services and offer practical guidance so that you have access to the right support, helping you to break out of crisis.
