What people think food banks do: provide food. 🥫
What we actually do:
🧺 Toiletries & essentials
🏠 Housing support
☕️ A cuppa & a listening ear
🧠 Mental health support
⚖️ Social security advice
💚 Restoring hope
It’s always #MoreThanFood🤝

🚨 BREAKING: half of people in the UK have lost access to community spaces - with families in the most deprived areas losing them fastest.

We all need places to connect. Especially when life is tough.
