They are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
During term time the foodbank operates out of our cafe every Friday morning from 09:15-11:15. During school holidays it operates from outside of the building and foodbank volunteers will welcome and support you.
