Autumn food collection weekend
12 partner supermarkets across townSeptember 26, 2026
Two days, one trolley at every exit: add one item from your own shopping and we turn it into a month of solidarity grocery shelves.
On the ground, every week
No one around here should face hard times alone.
We bring food, warmth and a way back to the neighbours the city stopped seeing, with volunteers from the same streets, and accounts anyone can read.

What we do, measured
Each programme carries its own result from last year, donors give to outcomes, not to intentions.
Solidarity grocery & food parcels
A weekly grocery where people pay 10% of the shelf price, and emergency parcels for the weeks when even that is too much.
1,240 food parcels handed out in 2025Night outreach rounds
Three evenings a week, a van, hot coffee and first names, we go to the people who no longer come to anyone.
182 people met on the street each monthAfter-school tutoring
One volunteer, one child, twice a week, homework done, confidence rebuilt.
92 children tutored, 9 out of 10 moved up a classBack-to-work coaching
CV workshops, mock interviews and a jacket that fits, the last mile between wanting a job and signing one.
64 people back in work or training in 2025Clothing & essentials drives
We collect, sort and redistribute clothes, bedding and hygiene kits all year round.
18 tonnes collected and redistributed last yearDigital help desk
Benefits, paperwork and appointments have all moved online, we sit next to people until it is done.
310 administrative files unblocked in 2025Where the money goes
