Get Help
How to get help
If you need help from our foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.
The most important step is to get a foodbank referral code.
PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT ISSUE CODES FROM THE WAREHOUSE OFFICE.
We operate an e-referral system whereby the following referrers can now arrange referrals over the telephone..
Please call Help through Hardship for free to talk confidentially to a trained Citizens Advice adviser on:
0808 208 2138
(Open Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm. Closed on public holidays.)
They can help address your crisis and provide support to maximise your income, help you navigate the benefits system, and identify any additional grants you could be entitled to.
If needed, they’ll issue you with a voucher code so you can get an emergency food parcel from your local food bank
