Until recently, you couldn’t open a bank account if you didn’t have an address - for example if you were homeless.

Thankfully, that has changed.

For some families, the fridge is already empty and every meal is carefully planned. This Christmas, even basic essentials are a challenge.

If you’re able to help, donating an item to your local food bank can make a real difference. Check our free app to see what’s needed most.💚

Even the dog’s dinner is a stretch for some families this Christmas. While many of us pick up festive treats, others are struggling to cover basics, including pet food. If you can, download the free #BanktheFood app to see what’s needed and donate an extra item when you shop 🐾🎄

We want your old smartphones, please.
Why?
Smartphones are essential for claiming UK benefits.
So if you have a model you no longer need, please think about donating it to the Foodbank for one of our clients.
Please drop it into the Gospel Mission on a Wednesday or Friday afternoon.
Thank you!
