Who are we?
Broxtowe Community Projects is a registered charity set up last year at the height of the Covid pandemic to serve our community and help ensure no one goes hungry while 'surplus/on date' food is being thrown away locally.
We run a self-referral foodbank and baby nappies/care bank that delivers food bags to local people who are hungry and struggling with food poverty. And we support our registered foodbank members to tackle the underlying causes of their situation e.g. relationship breakdown, evicted from where they were living, to access expert advice and support by working in partnership with other local services e.g. Citizens Advice Bureau, debt management charities, bereavement or loneliness support.
Broxtowe Community Projects is a foodbank with a difference:
