Runnymede Foodbank (Addlestone, Chertsey, Egham)

Runnymede Foodbank provides a three days’, emergency supply of food for individuals and families struggling to put food on the table in a time of financial hardship. The service is run by volunteers and supported by the Trussell Trust.

They cannot provide long-term assistance, but can signpost their clients on to other services.

How It Works:

To use the foodbank clients must first receive a voucher from a referral agency.

Runnymede Foodbank works with a number of different agencies, including Citizens Advice, children’s centres and health visitors. To find out more about how to receive a foodbank voucher and how you can get help, please contact the foodbank.

Clients then bring their voucher to a foodbank centre where it can be redeemed for three days’ emergency food.

How They Can Help:

A typical food parcel contains a minimum of three days of nutritionally balanced, non-perishable, tinned and dried foods that have been donated by the local community. The parcel can usually be adapted to meet special dietary needs, for example halal, vegetarian or gluten free.

Volunteers meet clients over a warm drink and are able to signpost people to agencies able to solve the longer-term problem.
