All food is donated by the general public, schools, church groups, local retailers and some large retailers in and around the Ladywood constituency. We greatly depend upon regular donations to sustain this project.
We encourage schools, colleges, church groups, businesses and voluntary organisations to become involved in fund raising initiatives which will support the foodbank.

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 aim to asist in tackling this serious problem within our 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 provide for their basic needs and the needs of their families due to unfortunate personal circumstances which could affect any one of us.
