Specific requirements
Our foodbank can usually adapt your food parcel to meet your dietary needs (for example dairy or gluten-intolerance, halal, vegetarian etc.). If you have any special dietary requirements, please ask your referee to specify it on the voucher.
We may sometimes also be able to provide essential non-food items such as toiletries, nappies and hygiene products, helping people in crisis to maintain dignity and feel human again .
