Collection Centres
If you qualify for food parcels, your referrer will ask you to select the most convenient location to collect your food. Your visit is treated as confidential, and food bags do not have any foodbank markings etc. It’s important that you try to attend the collection session you chose, to help us ensure we have the correct amount at each session.
Marsh Farm - CLOSED until further notice
