WANSBECK VALLEY FOOD BANK |
We provide food aid to those in need in our area. There can be many reasons for the need, e.g. • long-term unemployment, • benefit changes, with a gap in payments, • employed, but struggling to feed their families. Traditionally, we generated stocks of dried/tinned supplies of basic food types via donations from various community organisations (schools, churches etc.) and via supermarket collections; these were supplemented by the purchase of fresh perishable foods. Owing to the pandemic, the balance between donations and bought-in food has reversed. We now expend considerable sums each month purchasing food - almost £30,000 in the first nine months of 2021. The amount requested will therefore fund almost one month’s food purchases to be provided to local families in need. We provide standard food parcels which are supplemented with items specific to need, e.g. nappies. These are sufficient for individuals/families to feed themselves for up to 3 days. The packs were previously issued solely at the request of care professionals, subject to appropriate checks. We now accept some self-referrals. These parcels are now delivered to homes. In addition, we also provided emergency packs to referring professionals, so that they could issue them immediately when this is required. |

LIFESPRING CHURCH AND CENTRE |
We are looking for funding for “Community Action Response” or CAR for short. The project serves North Nottinghamshire and has a Centre at Ollerton and one at Warsop. It operates under the governance of “Lifespring Church and Centre”. CAR is a “consortium" of local organisations chaired by Councillor Mike Pringle and Pastor Mike Phillips with 30 volunteers. The project cooperates with Councils, schools, Family Centres, Care Homes, local businesses etc. It has been running since March 2020. The project has delivered over 151,000 meals to residents since the beginning of the pandemic. We have provided telephone support to almost 800 people and mental health packs and activity packs to children. Having received funds previously from CRT Food Insecurity Fund, we continue to deliver food hampers and are gearing up for the increased demand leading up to Christmas and preparing for the economic impact over the coming months, including the impact on physical, mental, emotional as well as material health. We feel that funding from CRT could stretch further the little funds that we have. |

We provide hot meals on site to those who are homeless, in need or suffering food poverty. The number of service users increases across the winter months and we need to be able to provide a greater number of hot drinks and hot meals to accommodate these. |

PEOPLE EMPOWERED CIC |
We will use the funding to support families facing socio-economic disadvantage in the areas of Thatto Heath and Parr, two of the most deprived areas in the Liverpool City Region. We will purchase and distribute food packages to those who are facing financial crisis. We will also produce healthy and nutritious school holiday meals for local children of primary and secondary school age and distribute them at Holiday Sports Camps in these deprived areas. There has been a stigma attached to families receiving food packages in the area during lockdown, so we will fund places for children from disadvantaged areas to attend the sports camps and use this to then ensure they access healthy nutritious meals. Finally, we will use any surplus stock to support Women in a supported accommodation centre located in a deprived ward in St Helens, these women are survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and family breakdown, they are facing financial crisis and are starting to rebuild their lives. |

VETERANS IN CRISIS COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY |
Veterans in Crisis Sunderland (VICS) have since its inception in 2018 provided veterans who come to us with their basic needs. Many are homeless, socially isolated, receive benefits, or are on Universal credit and experiencing family breakdown or estrangement. To alleviate their problems we design services that enable veterans the help they need to integrate into public life as equals. One service that is very popular with our members is what we call our "Ration Packs", known as food parcels in most outlets. In receiving funding we will ensure our store is fully replenished with the essentials of food, hygiene products and cleaning materials. Over the past 18 months during the Covid19 pandemic our store has been called upon frequently. We identified that many items that were in short supply on supermarket shelves (toilet rolls, antibacterial cleaning solutions etc) had an equally important place in our ration packs and so have ensured that alongside food products these items were available. We let veterans choose what they need rather than give products that they might not want and we don’t place restrictions on the amount they take. Making essentials available to Veterans and their families is a service very much needed. |

UNITED MULTICULTURAL CENTRE |
Our project is responding to the Covid 19 situation among the ethnic minority community. Our users have made us aware that food parcels in the area where we work are not inclusive of the food that they as individuals from other cultures, eat. The project involves a simple structure of food collection and delivery. The users will register their need via a form that will added to our website/facebook page and twitter account daily. Individuals from the Rotherham community will be asked simple questions, including their postcode to ensure that they qualify for our unique food parcel service. All contact/form conformation /delivery/collection will be made and agreed by a member of the centre prior to acceptance. This will ensure that the most vulnerable families who are reluctant to ask for specific help regarding food, are the people who will benefit from this project. The staff at our centre will be available by telephone two days a week to allow individuals to contact the centre by phone. They will be supported to complete the information required. One the details are confirmed two levels of support will be provided. Firstly, support by collection – where individuals will be asked to provide a letter to confirm their address. Secondly, - by outreach delivery for any individual/family not able to collect from the centre. The food will be bought by designated members of staff from the company shop identified for support. This will allow use to provide an ideal support for those who are struggling with the provision of food and unable to access the food provided in other banks. |

In September, the last of this funding was spent, and our report submitted to the CRT. We started operating a referral food parcel service in March 2020 in response to Triage identified by our 400 patients, all affected by the pandemic. Our plan was to provide the service for around six weeks. Eighteen months later, it is a full scale food bank, registered with RMBC, and with an Environmental Health four star rating. It keeps us busy every week. There is no sign of the needs reducing. They have continued to grow. We will provide - Emergency food bank. Referred food parcels. Support across the whole of Rotherham. Support for vulnerable families in ex coalfield areas elsewhere in South Yorkshire, people with mental health needs, and long term conditions. Our food parcels include - Fresh meat. Fresh Vegetables. Fresh Fruit. Dried goods. Frozen goods. Personal Hygiene and Sanitary items. The funding will pay for food, and if permissible, will contribute towards our running costs. |
