All food is donated by the public and large retailers e.g. Tesco's Morrisons, Sainsbury's Cost-Co, Asda, Aldi, Farm Foods and other small retail outlets in and around the Ladywood Constituency.
We aim to target schools to get them involved in our fund raising initiatives from members of church groups or voluntary organisations.

In Ladywood alone, 36% are living on working class credits and almost half of adults living in the ward are unemployed. Sparkbrook, Small Heath and Hodge Hill were also in the top ten of the most deprived wards in the country and have high levels of child poverty. We wish to tackle this problem within the community.

Unfortunately hunger is not just a third world problem. There are 12 to 13 million or more living below the poverty line in the UK. Everyday people go hungry because they cannot afford to buy their most basic needs because of their personal circumstances.
