McColls at Birkdale are the real McCoy
Over the past months our need for some food lines has bordered on the desperate. At such times we have, funds permitting, to go out and buy such essentials as tinned vegetables and pasta sauce and therefore we were delighted to receive a cash donation from McColl’s at Birkdale. Support from local businesses is great!

Unison in harmony
Our clients need food – of that there is no doubt. They also need and deserve their self-respect and being able to keep clean is an essential element in this. Our sincere thanks therefore to Unison at Southport & Ormskirk NHS Trust for their donation of toiletries which weighed in at a staggering 58kg. […]

A Funday Sunday
On Sunday September 23rd Run Northwest organised a 10k Southport Seaside run (and a 2k Childrens Run) which attracted 1500 runners.

Through the minefield with the PH Holt Foundation
Even to an expert the UK benefits system is a minefield. Try and imagine what it must be like for someone whose previous contact with it has been minimal or non-existent. Many of the clients referred to us for food have become ensnared in its intricacies which has meant that their food poverty problems are […]

Shining like a beacon
Our warehouse look has, over the months and years, changed from battleship grey to a very poor imitation of WWII camouflage, as rust streaks featured increasingly large on it. Now, thanks to the efforts of the Community Payback Team, it is shining silver (we wanted gold, but that will have to wait until next time!) […]

We are supported by great companies and their customers
More great company support, this time from McColls who generously donated well over £500 from their ‘Making a Difference’ fund. And make a difference it surely will, especially to our hard-pressed Admin staff who now have four filing cabinets and a tidier office. From now on things should be much easier to find. Thank you […]
