Stroud District Foodbank

Who we are

Our foodbank provides nutritionally balanced emergency food and essentials to people in crisis, as well as support to help people resolve their challenges.

We’re a registered Charity and part of the Trussell network of foodbanks.

We opened in 2011 and have 9 foodbank centres across the district.

We have a staff team of 5, 7 trustees and over 200 volunteers. That’s over 20,000 volunteering hours per year!

Our culture and values

At the heart of our organisation is a culture built on integrity, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to service. We believe that delivering exceptional outcomes begins with shared values of dignity, community, and compassion, guiding the way we work and the relationships we build. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Our Commitment

We are committed to building a foodbank where:

• Everyone is treated with dignity and respect
• Differences are welcomed, understood, and celebrated
• Barriers to access or participation are identified and removed
• No one is excluded, overlooked, or disadvantaged because of who they are
• Everyone feels a genuine sense of belonging

We recognise that individuals may experience inequality or discrimination based on factors such as race, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or belief, socio-economic background, or any other part of their identity or lived experience. We are committed to challenging all forms of discrimination, exclusion and bias.
