Welcome to Bude Foodbank Plus
We support around 1,300 adults and children every year in Bude and the surrounding area who are urgently in need of food. Here at Bude Foodbank, we ensure that families and individuals receive the basic food & care that is easy to take for granted.
We aid adults facing financial pressures & worries as a result of limited income through our Christians Against Poverty (CAP) project, where people can arrange meetings with us to help them get to grips with their financial problems and even support those have gotten into debt.
1. Increase the number of food parcels we give out from 1,749 in 2020 to over 2,000 by April 2022
2. Help an additional 50 adults and children with food support by April 2022(we supported 600 children and 300 adults in our community last year)
3. Fund a new Family Support Worker from September giving emotional and practical help to 40 families by April 2022. We still need to raise an extra £15,000 by September to fund this work
4. Help 60 individuals and families with our new financial advice service (starts July 2021)
5. Run 8 new practical workshops by April 2022 (starting from September) to help clients improve their skills and confidence, supporting them back into work
Together we need to raise £130,000 to achieve this during the year!

“I can’t thank the foodbank enough. I never thought I would end up in this position. After losing my job and bringing up my son on my own, I simply couldn’t make ends meet. I don’t know what I would have done without them.”

“I never thought I would be in this position and it all happened so quickly. I lost my job and my partner left me all within a month. I now don’t have the basics I need to put food on the table for my 3 children.”
HOW YOU
CAN HELP
We need to raise over £90,000 every year so that we can continue to help people facing food shortage, financial advice and emotional and mental health issues.
We’re reliant on the support of our Bude community to help us ensure that people struggling in Bude and the surrounding area have the help they need. After all, we believe that nobody in our area should have to go without the basic things that we so often take for granted. Please help support our work with a donation.
