You will need to contact the foodbank prior to making a donation to determine which supplies are needed.

Grace Cares

Grace Cares is a not-for-profit organisation that launched in 2023 to make care more sustainable - environmentally, socially, and financially. They rescue pre-loved care equipment from landfill and give it new life by refurbishing and redistributing it affordably to older people, families, unpaid caregivers, and care providers. The profits from their work fund community programmes that support older people and unpaid caregivers, improve well-being, and strengthen health and social care. Beyond environmental sustainability, they tackle social isolation and hardship.

Grace Cares would welcome support with the following:

  • Volunteers to help with activities
  • Donations of unwanted, good quality, care equipment
  • Donations towards refreshments at our community events
  • Donations of gifts that will make a real difference to the lives of unpaid care givers (e.g. crossword and puzzle books, toiletries, and luxury food items)
