More Than A Foodbank
Although food provision is a big part of the services we provide, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We provide food support through the supply of regular food parcels to adults and families who need us, but we also provide support to people struggling with their finances through our ‘Christians Against Poverty’ (CAP Scheme).
We can also offer support for people coping with emotional or mental health issues and will be running next year, a new programme of sessions aimed at helping people gain confidence in a wide range of areas including stress workshops, money management, up-skilling for a career, healthy eating workshops and more!

Financial Advice
If you’ve got loans that have got out of hand, are struggling to make ends meet, have queries about a loan that you’re not sure whether to take out, or just need some help in managing your finances, we have launched a new CAP scheme (Christians Against Poverty) as part of Bude Foodbank Plus, offering people the opportunity to get financial advice and support through 1-1 sessions.
Check out the video below to find out more about CAP and the work they do.
