About the Foodbank Crofton supports Bromley Borough Foodbank, a project founded by local churches and community groups working together towards stopping hunger in our local area. It is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks supported by the Trussell Trust. The Foodbank helps when there is a crisis which leaves people without money for food, for example - When benefits are delayed
- When people are suddenly without work
- On a low income/sickness
Foodbank - Collects non-perishable food donated by local people
- Sorts food and stores it at the centres
- Gives vouchers to organisations such as doctor’s surgeries, CAB, health visitors, social workers and school support workers who give the vouchers to people in need.
- Gives 3 days or more worth of nutritionally balanced food when the voucher is taken to a foodbank centre by the client (see Bromley Borough Foodbank website for centres and opening times).
- Aims to offer a listening ear, a cup of tea or coffee and signposting to organisations able to offer further help.
