Whitefoot and Downham Community Food + Project.
Whitefoot and Downham Community Food + Project (wdcfplus) has been created for people who are experiencing poverty. Our focus is primarily on the provision of food, as well as working alongside other local statutory and voluntary agencies to provide a holistic approach to alleviate food poverty and to build community. We have four key objectives:1) food provision, 2) promoting healthy living, 3) developing positive partnerships, 4) building communities.

Some of the services we offer include debt managment, housing and councillor sugeries, employment, business skills, healthy eating on a budget, parenting and pastorial support. Since its creation, wdcfplus has also linked up with over fifteen local partnerships that provide various services to our visitors and volunteers, ranging from debt advice to nutrition, social housing and parental support.
