About us

We believe that no one in our community should face hunger.

One hand resting on another persons in comfort

That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to people in Stratford-upon-Avon and surrounding areas.

We are part of a nationwide community of food banks, supported by Trussell, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Our vision is to end food poverty in Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding area.

Our mission is to prevent and relieve poverty, bringing communities together and provide compassionate, practical help with dignity.

We work with our clients and volunteers in a way that is compassionate and demonstrates trust and respect. We work fairly and responsibly to provide support to those in need, especially those in our community who are in crisis.

We will achieve our short and long term vision and mission by focusing on our strategic aims.
