FOODBANK & CITIZENS ADVICE

We operate an outlet of the Woking Foodbank.  Our Foodbank Centre is open each Wednesday between 12.00 pm and 2.30 pm.  We also deliver food parcels to shut-in clients, or those who cannot make it to the Foodbank on a Wednesday, as requested by the main Foodbank Voucher Team.  Our food stocks are maintained by the generous donations from our Church Family, local groups and the people of Byfleet through the donations collected at the Village Co-op on Vanner's Parade and supported by the Woking Foodbank Warehouse team in Knaphill.

Each week we have a "Free Food" table which is often stocked with food donated by the Co-op on the High Road.  Anyone can avail themselves of this food, whether they have been formally referred to the Foodbank or not.

With the generous financial support of the Byfleet United Charity, Citizen's Advice Woking hold drop-in advice sessions in parallel with the Foodbank between 12.00 and 2.30.  Anyone who needs help or advice can just drop in and meet with a trained counsellor. 

More in formation about the Woking Foodbank can be found on their web-site at:-https://woking.foodbank.org.uk.  The Citizen's Advice Woking web-site is https://www.wokingcab.org and Byfleet United Charity is https://byfleetunitedcharity.org.uk

If you know of anyone in need, please encourage them to contact one of the Referral Agencies listed on the main website, or our Minister, Revd. Shaun Sanders, or to leave a message on the Church/Foodbank phone - 01932 355972.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the Spelthorne and NW Surrey Alliance Social Prescribing Team who will hold a drop-in session at the Church at the same time as the Foodbank. This will be available to anyone in the Byfleet area who might benefit from this.  The drop-in will be held bi-weekly starting on 16 April.
