CIRENCESTER FOODBANK

We are part of the Trussell Trust network of Foodbanks and offer nutritionally balanced food parcels (sufficient for 3 days) to folk in our local community who are in need and who come to us with a voucher from one of our referral partners, such as doctors, CAB, housing officers etc. The food we offer is generously donated to us by our local community.

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
