Community food outlets and food banks

Find organisations offering emergency food parcels and assistance for those in need

We recommend contacting groups directly before attending as their opening times and support may differ.

Some groups focused on tackling food waste are open to all.

To get help from a food bank you need to be referred with a voucher.

Your GP, housing association or Citizens Advice can assess you for a food voucher and provide signposting for help towards your crisis.
