Foleshill Community Supermarket operates from the Foleshill Community Centre. We offer a dignified shopping experience and seek to support members holistically through opportunities to engage in health and wellbeing activities in our community hub. We are feeding between 300-400 people a week from the Social Supermarket. Emotional support is one of the most important things which we offer besides food.
Some of the achievements we are proud of include:
- Weekly home deliveries to our most vulnerable members.
- Food Parcels from January to December 2021, we provided 6421 food parcels to residents in the area.
- Support Services actively supporting 90 members with wrap around support.
- HAF Summer Programme providing food and activities for children on free school meals reached 181 different schoolchildren and their younger siblings, each accompanied by a parent or carer.
- Creative Well Being developed our community garden and a variety of workshop based projects that have enabled people to express themselves, grow in confidence, learn new skills and be part of a team and a community that are working together to improve people's lives. Our creative projects have reached over 500 different people.
The cost of living crisis means our members will face increasing challenges of food poverty and hardship putting additional pressures on the families we are supporting.
