Debt
& Friendship
We are an independent foodbank serving the local community in Swansea. We source food, toiletries & household items through actual donations from individual members of the community or organisations within the community. ALL financial donations are spent directly on the food parcels we provide.
We also have specific provisions for asylum seeker families where we tailor the contents of our food parcels to suit their dietary needs.
We are currently only staffed by volunteers, almost all of whom were involved in supporting a previous foodbank in Sketty (HOP Foodbank). All of the trustees of the charity were involved in some capacity with HOP Foodbank.
Recipients of our parcels are primarily referred by Swansea agencies (addressing poverty, food poverty, asylum support etc). To a lesser extent, individuals may approach the Foodbank for relief. Non-referred individuals who request support are interviewed to assess whether their needs meet criteria necessary for relief.
