Every year we spend over £30,000 providing meals and food parcels for people in need. It’s an enormous amount of money to raise, and it makes an enormous difference to the lives of many people.
We rely on financial support from individuals and organisations of all types – from churches and schools to clubs and businesses– nearly all of the money you donate goes straight to those who need it.

Harvest or Christmas Toy collection
Harvest
Loaves and fishes collects food donations throughout September and October from local churches, schools and other locations. If you would like to contribute, please have a look at what we need.
New Toys
Loaves and fishes collects donations of new toys, games, and puzzles to distribute to our service users at Christmas time. Please note that we do not take *used toys, games or puzzles* for our Christmas parcels. More information on what we take can be found here.
We do take slightly loved books for children and young adults – ages 0-16 for Christmas *only*.
