26Sep
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.
Neighbours helping neighbours
Everyone has something to give.
A tin of food, two hours on a Saturday, thirty euros or a talent for maths homework, we turn whatever you have into help next door.
100% local, the help stays in the neighbourhood
Run by volunteers, governed by volunteers
Every euro accounted for, every year
What we get up to
All our actionsActions with rolled-up sleeves
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 2025
Night 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 month
After-school tutoring
One volunteer, one child, twice a week, homework done, confidence rebuilt.
92 children tutored, 9 out of 10 moved up a class
Back-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 2025
Clothing & essentials drives
We collect, sort and redistribute clothes, bedding and hygiene kits all year round.
18 tonnes collected and redistributed last year
Digital help desk
Benefits, paperwork and appointments have all moved online, we sit next to people until it is done.
