Foodbank vouchers

Our foodbank works using a referral system. Find out more about how we work.

We know that anyone can find themselves at crisis point for a number of different reasons.

In order to provide the most appropriate help for the circumstances of your situation we work with local agencies. If they feel you are struggling to put food on the table, they will issue you with a foodbank voucher. The local agency can also provide long term support if needed to help address some of the issues behind the reasons for your crisis. 

Our foodbank works with a number of different agencies, such as Citizens Advice, Law Centres, Housing Officers and Health Visitors.

When you visit a referral agency they will take some basic details from you to complete the referral. This will help them to identify the cause of your crisis and offer practical guidance. It also means we are able to prepare suitable emergency food for the right number of people.

Once you have been issued with a referral, you would attend the foodbank centre, and would be supplied with a minimum of three days of emergency food.

Our FAQ page has a list of our most frequently asked questions. Otherwise, please get in touch if you have any questions.

If you work for an agency, and would like to discuss being added to our system as a referrer, please contact us to find out more.
