Food Banks and Community Based Social Eating Projects
Food banks provide parcels and social eating projects provide free hot meals to residents in receipt of a referral, which often takes the form of a voucher. Referrals are made by a variety of professionals supporting individuals and families in difficult circumstances, such as:
- Nottingham City Council's Customer Hub
- Advice centres offering debt, financial or welfare rights advice
- Children’s centres
- Framework - Homelessness Prevention
- Housing providers - such as, Nottingham Private Rented Assistance Scheme (NPRAS) and Nottingham City Homes (NCH)
- Social workers
- Health visitors and other healthcare professionals
- Police officers
- Neighbourhood development officers
- Employment advisors
Not eligible for free vouchers? Some social eating projects will provide hot meals for a small charge (info below) and Nottingham City Council offer a daily hot meal delivery through their low-cost Meals at Home service.
Want to do something to help?
