Support us

Donate

We would like to thank all the schools, churches, businesses and local people who support The Hub and foodbank through their kind donations.

For those wanting to donate for the first time, or continue their support of the project, there are several ways in which we can work together.

Food donations 

Tinned Food

These can be either delivered directly to the Hub in Church Street or donated through the collection points at Sainsbury’s, and the Co-op (Bridge Yard and Winsley Road) in Bradford on Avon or collection points in St Nicolas Church Winsley: Westwood Stores, South Wraxall; St Peter’s Church Monkton Farleigh and Bathford Stores.

Please could you ensure any donations are in date as this will save unnecessary wastage.

Please check the list to the right. The Food Bank only distributes non-perishable items.

To ensure the Hub continues to provide a home for the Food Bank and serve the community, money will be always be needed.

Financial donations

A financial donation would enable us to purchase specific items required, including bags and boxes plus help with printing and running costs.

If you would like to support us, you may do so by writing a cheque (payable to The Hub@BA15), by setting up a standing order (bank details available on request) or simply by donating cash. We can take card payments at the Hub. (Gift Aid forms are available on request and can be picked up from the Hub or emailed to you).

You could contribute to one of the many collection boxes in the area including within the Hub itself.

Lastly, you could donate via Give As You Live (which includes Gift Aid).
