Our foodbank runs every Monday (excluding bank holidays) from 10:30am to 1pm.
From time to time we all need some support and our foodbank may be that support you need at this moment in time. In order to access the foodbank, you must be registered at The Centre Project. If you would like to register, please visit the centre on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday between 10:30am & 1pm. Once you have registered, you must let a member of staff know during the week that you will be attending the following Monday.
