The Trussell Trust – Salisbury Foodbank

About Salisbury Foodbank

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Services Provided:

For families and individuals in crisis around Wiltshire. Foodbank centre at Salisbury St Paul’s Church, Fisherton Street, SP2 7QW hosts a cafe which provides hot meals and emergency food parcels to people presenting a foodbank voucher.

We also signpost to other services. Food boxes providing 3-days of food may be delivered to clients who live rurally or are house-bound when referral agency contacts foodbank directly (subject to van availability – voluntary run service). Partner agencies may hold food boxes in rural locations (contact Foodbank Manager for more details).

We also offer Cooking on a budget courses and Holiday Clubs.

Supports:

All ages

Areas Covered:

North as far as Ludgershall and Tidworth (slight crossover with Andover Foodbank); South as far as Downton; we cover Tisbury, but Shaftesbury and Mere are covered by Gillingham Foodbank – more information on the back of the voucher re locations and additional drop-in services available.
