The Bassetlaw Food Bank does not receive any formal funding, they rely completely on grant applications, donations from organisations, churches, the general public and fundraising to be able to provide support to the local people of Worksop, Retford and surrounding villages.

This time of year is not good for some people in our local community, not only following the expense of Christmas but also with high energy bills during the winter months. On top of this we have the uncertainty caused by the roll out across the district of the new Universal Credit Full Service.

The process of applying for this benefit impacts on many people, including not only the unemployed and sick, but working people and their families. We currently have no idea what impact this is going to have on the demand for the Food Bank during the coming year, but early signs are not good and donations will help us to be prepared for any continuing rise that may occur.

Bassetlaw Food Bank are proud to be supported by a team of over 90 volunteers; without their support they would not be in a position to offer their services five days a week. Their expansion signifies that there has been a continued demand for their services across the Bassetlaw District, which will not be sustained without support
