North End Foodbank

In 2015, North End Baptist Church, working in partnership with King's Church, launched the North End Foodbank.

​

With over 15 volunteers and moving an average of 10 tonnes of food each year and around 2,000 people coming through the doors, it was becoming a job in itself.
 

LP-J funded the first year of employment of a full-time manager, Jo Green, who started in June 2019.

​

“We have seen people get connected into church families after visiting a foodbank, they have experienced love and a warm welcome and most importantly experienced hope,” says Rev. Tracey Ansell, Minister at North End Baptist Church.

​

“The foodbank is seen as a crucial ministry for us, and we needed to build in sustainability for it to be secure. We applied for the salary costs to recruit a Foodbank Manager, and were granted the first year's salary. It really was an answer to prayer!”
