Our food bank opened in The Brassey Centre on 8th December 2020. It is open for collection of pre-booked food parcels twice a week, usually:
Tuesday 5-7pm
Saturday 10am-12pm
(please check the calendar for exact dates and times).
Food donations may also be dropped off at these times.

How to get a food parcel
