Partnerships
We regularly redistribute over 100 tonnes of food a week. That’s almost 250,000 meals. But’s not just about the food. We work in collaboration with local and national partners to bring in other expertise offering advice and practical solutions for dealing with debt, managing utilities, accessing mental health support, help with housing, employment opportunities and more.
