Charity begins at home. We stand with people facing hardship right here in the UK.
Charity begins at home. We stand with people facing hardship right here in the UK.
Although the majority of our work takes place overseas in some of the world's most vulnerable communities, we are equally committed to supporting people here in the UK who are facing hardship. From the food poverty that emerged during the pandemic to sudden disasters like flooding, we stand ready to help.
Opened in 2020 as our very first foodbank during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mirfield Foodbank in West Yorkshire continues to serve families and individuals in crisis. We provide emergency food parcels, hygiene items, household essentials, and a warm café space where people can enjoy a hot drink and a friendly face.

Our second foodbank, based in the West Midlands, supports hundreds of people every month who are struggling to put food on the table. We provide emergency food parcels, baby supplies, toiletries and household essentials to those in greatest need.

When floods, storms or other emergencies hit communities across the UK, we provide hot meals, blankets, cleaning kits and hands-on help. We also train community groups and partner organisations across the UK in disaster preparedness and first aid.
Your donation powers emergency response, long-term development and life-changing programmes for vulnerable communities around the world.
