We run a clothes bank helping people who need good quality clothes for themselves and their family.

An estimated £140 million worth of used clothing goes to waste every year – that’s around 350,000 tonnes. Binned clothes fill up landfill sites, raise greenhouse gas emissions, and harm the environment, while our throw away culture supports an industry which has poor labour and environmental standards.

Why not put your unwanted clothes to better use and think about donating them to us? Everything you donate will help someone in your community while also lessening our impact on the environment.

We believe that no one in our community should have to face going hungry. Illness, disability, family breakdowns and loss of a job are just some of the reasons why people may need our support. We provide three days worth of nutritionally balanced good quality food to local people who are referred to us in times of crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
