How to access the Re:dish Food Bank
To access the Food Bank you need a voucher.
In order to provide the most appropriate help for the circumstances of your situation we work with local agencies. If they feel you are struggling to put food on the table, they will issue you with a foodbank voucher. The local agency can also provide long term support if needed to help address some of the issues behind the reasons for your crisis.
When you visit a referral agency they will take some basic details from you to complete the voucher. This will help them to identify the cause of your crisis and offer practical guidance. It also means we are able to prepare suitable emergency food for the right number of people.
In Reddish, the following agencies can provide you with a voucher:
-
Reddish Advice Centre – at the Reddish Library
-
South Reddish Medical Centre
-
The Reddish Family Practice
-
Park View Group Practice
If you are unable to get in contact with the above agencies, then Citizen's Advice have a telephone help line: 0300 330 9075.
If you have school age children, the following schools can provide you with a voucher:
Coming to the Food Bank
When you arrive, we’ll welcome you with a warm drink and our trained volunteers will chat with you about your situation. We’ll also discuss any dietary needs you may have and exchange your Foodbank voucher for a parcel of three days of emergency food. We’ll also help to support you in any other ways that we can. Our Foodbank offers a cafe style environment and our aim is to provide non-judgemental support at the point of crisis.
The Food Bank is open Thursdays and Saturdays 10:30am to 12:30pm
