How to get help

If you are on UC please go to your online journal and message your wok coach, alternatively you can go into your local jobcentre between 10:00-14:00 and they can refer you if appropriate.

This is because at the Foodbank we normally work on a voucher referral basis.

Vouchers are issued by any frontline agency who is helping to resolve your problems.

However, if you are a new customer you can get immediate help from one of our centres by calling in there without a voucher. (We usually only do this to give you time to arrange professional help.)

Holsworthy Foodbank is open on Wednesday Afternoons in the Manor Suite at the back of the Memorial Hall.
Please come between 2pm and 3.30pm.

Our friendly volunteers will ensure you have good food for the family.

You may also be able to get help from Citizens Advice on (Freephone) 0808 2082138
