Great Barr Trussell Foodbank

If you need help from Great Barr Foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.

• Get a Foodbank Voucher

If you call or email our foodbank (at any time) we can talk through your situation and put you in touch with a relevant local agency who can issue you with a voucher.

• Visit the referral agency

They will discuss your situation and supply you with a foodbank voucher where appropriate.

If you are in financial crisis and live in England or Wales, please call 0808 2082138 for free (open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) to talk confidentially with a trained Citizens Advice adviser. They can help address your crises and provide support to maximise your income, help you navigate the benefits system, and identify any additional grants you could be entitled to. If needed, they’ll issue you with a voucher so you can get an emergency food parcel from your local food bank.

• Bring your foodbank voucher to Great Barr Foodbank

When you arrive, we’ll welcome you with a warm drink and our trained volunteers will chat with you about your situation. We’ll also discuss any dietary needs you may have and exchange your foodbank voucher for a parcel of three days of emergency food.

We’ll also help to support you in any other ways that we can. Most of our foodbank centres offer a cafe style environment and our aim is to provide non-judgemental support at the point of crisis.
