Thank you for your kind words.
Don't forget our Foodbank can also help those referred to us with toiletries, sanitary wear, household cleaning products, cat & dog food, nappies. Also we provide a brilliant free 'financial inclusion' service which has already helped many of our clients improve income, reduce outgoings, budget, manage debt & anything else that might impact your financial wellbeing. 💚

We were delighted to chat to a very happy Mum of two earlier this week who recently received a food parcel from Burnham-on-Sea Trussell Trust. 💚 This family attends our free Early Years Explorers group at Morland Hub in Highbridge every Thursday (9am-10.30am) and it's wonderful to see such strong support available all across the Burnham community.

In need of a warm coat? - why not check out the coats available in our local library. All free

🥶As the weather gets colder, you or someone you know might need a warm coat. Our library coat bank is here to help!

🥶Thanks to the generosity of , we have a fantastic selection of children’s and teen-sized coats available - and there are still plenty of adult coats available too.

🥶Just pop into the library and pick one up from the foyer—no need to ask, no questions, just take what you need.

🥶Thanks to everyone's generosity, the library is fully stocked right now so we are unable to take any more donations at present. We will post again when we are able to accept more.
