Give a little something

Please #GiveALittleSomething to support local foodbanks, and ask your council to do more to ensure that no-one goes hungry. 

Here's how you can help:

  1. Donate food, toiletries, household goods or other items via your local co-op store. 
  2. If you are a member of a retail co-op, you may be able to donate your dividend. Contact your local co-op to find out how to do this.
  3. Find out whether your local council has a food champion using this tool, and write to them to ask them to do more to combat food poverty and food injustice. 
  4. Raise awareness on social media using the hashtag #GiveALittleSomething and encourage others to get involved.
  5. Sign up to support the Trussell Trust's Hunger Free Future campaign
