Food poverty is a real problem in our community.

Some local people don’t have enough to eat. Often, they have to make hard choices; keep warm or feed themselves. There’s not enough money for both. 

 

Meet David, our office volunteer

David joined our team in January 2024. David found the opportunity on the Stockport Volunteer Hub and initially applied to do data entry. Once David arrived with us, we discovered he had a background in IT. 

David is now heavily involved in supporting us with our computer systems and is a fantastic asset to our team.

Meet Our Brinnington Volunteer Phil

Phil has been involved with Chelwood for over nine years.  He came to help and discovered he has a real passion for helping others and engaging in supporting our clients, particularly at our Brinnington facility.

He collects the weekly stock for delivery to our foodbank clients. He represents the foodbank at awareness events and fundraisers and food collections.

We are so fortunate to have a committed volunteer like Phil. He gives his time to engage and encourage others to make a difference in the community.

Meet Dave and Anita our Chelwood Volunteers

Dave and Anita (pictured here at our 10th-anniversary volunteers 'party') became involved as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but their impact has been significant.  
 
They threw themselves into helping with many aspects of the operation including:
  • The move from the church to our purpose-built facility on the church grounds.
  • Designing and implementing the system we use to manage food and 'plus' donations
  • Fundraising with helping hands Bramhall and organising a 'Christmas Ball fundraiser' that sold out within two hours.
Their energy and commitment are an example to us all.

Churches Together Cheadle Hulme

Many churches in Cheadle Hulme regularly donate food to Chelwood Foodbank through

  • Car Boot Drop-offs!
  • Church service collections
  • Harvest collections
  • Volunteering
  • and many other special events in aid of the Foodbank

The churches do amazing work each week collecting, sorting and packing food donations ready to be distributed to local people.

Thank you so much for the support that you provide to our Foodbank!

Helping Hands Bramhall

These Foodbank Heroes dressed up to enable Drive-by Donations and Roadside Collections. Week in and week out they tirelessly planned routes for coordinated street collections, whilst bringing fun to the various pockets of Bramhall.

Helping Hands Bramhall raised over £7,500!

We cannot thank you all enough. You really are amazing community champions!

Dave DoubleDecks Dance Floor Fillers

During Lockdown, local DJ David Hird took his talents to Facebook Live with his amazing Dance Floor Fillers to raise money for Chelwood Foodbank PLUS. What a brilliant idea.

Playing music for 7 nights, he raised over £5,000!

Thank you Dave DoubleDecks!
