About our Foodbank

Stratford-upon-Avon Foodbank is a local independent charity founded in 2013; we are part of the Trussell network of foodbanks. Trussell is an anti-poverty charity who support a network of foodbanks, providing practical signposting and emergency food to people locked in poverty, and campaign for change to end the need for foodbanks in the UK. Our foodbank has a small team of staff and a large volunteer cohort of over 150 volunteers, who are the heart of the charity and help deliver our services to the local community. Our mission is to provide emergency food and support in Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding areas for people in need, and to work with partners, connecting people to advice which prevents and relieves poverty. 

Our Service

Our Foodbank operates on the Trussell referral model where individuals experiencing food poverty must receive a food voucher from a trusted referral partner before accessing emergency food from a food bank. We operate in partnership with local support agencies, including housing associations, medical centres, social prescribers, mental health teams, schools, and churches. All our referral agencies issue voucher codes by phone or email and a delivery can be arranged in certain circumstances.

Unfortunately we do not currently have any vacancies at the Foodbank.
