CHRISTCHURCH FOOD BANK Operating since September 2011 it is now located in the Old Chapel at St Joseph's Church, 67 Purewell BH23 1EH. We are a partnership with Faithworks Wessex serving those people of Christchurch who find themselves in crisis and unable to buy food, the Foodbank is now a Foodbank+. Through its other projects, Furniture Bank, cooking on a budget workshops, Budget and money management and Homeless Drop-in the Foodbank+ assists people in the community on their journey out of crisis. Tinned and packet foods are donated by individuals, Churches, schools, local businesses and through supermarket collection points. A three day supply of food is given upon the presentation of a voucher given to the client by one of nearly 90 "referrers" in the Christchurch area. The Food Bank is manned by our 36 volunteers from our Churches and local community who wish to help those in need.

CHRISTCHURCH COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP T​he Christchurch Community Partnership (CCP) is an established local independent charity which seeks to work with other voluntary and statutory organisations to both identify gaps in provision, and to deliver much needed services to the community. Our projects all seek to address the significant issue of social isolation which impacts on residents across both the age and socio-economic spectrum and to improve the quality of life for all who live and work in Christchurch. |
