Run by volunteers, our Community cafe is open Monday to Friday and serves breakfast and lunch free to everyone each day. Lunches are made with surplus supermarket and restaurant donations including Tesco and Greggs.
Our volunteers are also happy to make tea and coffee throughout the day and we often have cakes and doughnuts too for anyone who fancies a treat!

Household support fund
We distribute food parcels for those receiving support through the household support fund. This is a fund for those facing financial hardship and who need additional support with food and energy through DWP.

Foodbank
We are a registered food hub under Coventry foodbank which allows us to issue and fulfill emergency foodbank parcels for people in need. This support is complemented by our onsite welfare officers who will assist those seeking food support with any underlying issues they are facing such as housing, debt, benefits, and more.
If you feel you are in need of emergency food support you can come along to one of our foodbank sessions:
Monday 12pm - 2:30pm
Friday 10am - 12pm
One Stop Social Supermarket
Our Social Supermarket is aimed at supporting those that require more long-term food support than the foodbank can provide. This can be for various reasons, including benefit, housing, employment, debt issues and more.
Members can join our social supermarket for £5/week and receive up to £25/worth of food as well as support from our welfare officers to address the reasons why food support is required.
We assess everyone on an individual basis and produce action plans to address support needs in the best way possible for that members needs. Our welfare officers ensure that we provide a holistic model of support addressing a variety of support needs and providing referrals to our other services internally and to more speciality services externally where necessary.
If you feel you could benefit from social supermarket support or would like to learn more, please contact us on 02476 266010 and we will be happy to book an appointment and answer any questions.
