Our charity currently operates Three fixed food pantries and a mobile offering at a further four locations within the borough, but we are looking to expand this offering further following a successful round of grant funding.

This role is key to the successful development and operation of the network, ensuring we can reach and support more people in our community.

The role will involve working alongside staff, more than 40 volunteers, and multiple third party agencies to ensure a high quality service is delivered across all locations for our wonderful shoppers

Warrington Foodbank is a charity primarily focussed on the relief of financial hardship amongst people in Warrington and the surrounding area. Particularly, but not exclusively through the provision of food, essential toiletries and household items to individuals and families in need.

We operate the largest crisis food operation within the borough, serving thousands of individuals and families each year who have no other option but to access emergency food supplies.

The charity also delivers an affordable food operation branded as our “Little Shop” pantries and mobile “Vantry”. Our food pantries offer access to high quality, affordable food, with the aim of preventing people from both reaching crisis point by providing more choices to quality food and household items, whilst also giving those who are experiencing crisis a viable, dignified alternative and opportunity to thrive instead of just survive.
