| Recipient Org: Description | We work with the Trussel Trust to provide emergency food to people in the Cheddar Valley area which serves small villages and rural communities. Our main role is to operate the Foodbank from our warehouse in Cheddar. We will also signpost clients to organisations that can help them if necessary. We are committed to raising awareness of our operation in the local area bearing in mind that this is widespread and communication is not the best regarding public transport etc. We collect food from local organisation such as shops, churches, community groups and cafes and local people. We weigh collections and update the Trussel trust data management system with the weights and info regarding the clients we supply food to for their national statistics. We manage the accounts of any monetary donations and pay the overheads of running the warehouse. The acoounts are independently audited every year. We rely totally on volunteers who keep the Foodbank open twice a week for 2 hours at a time and adhere to all health and safety requirements and any Trussel Trust recommendations. We are endeavouring to increase our profile through marketing , word of mouth and some press releases but still have a long way to go on this. |
