Coronavirus Support
We know that the pandemic has affected people in many different ways and that many of you are in a different position mentally, physically and financially to where you were in early 2020. We are currently delivering a range of projects that offer support and opportunities in this most difficult time. Our Food Provision offers free food packages, delivered by our volunteers, to your door once a week. The packages are aimed as a compliment to your existing food items and contain a mix of fresh and long life items. We also offer a paid for hot meal delivery service for Over 50s, a Waste Not Bag delivery service which contains surplus supermarket items and Seasonal Special care packages. You can find our more about these services here…
