The racial violence witnessed across Belfast last week has caused real fear and trauma for children, families and individuals across our communities.

This Friday, qualified professionals from the West Belfast GP Federation Multidisciplinary Team will be available at our Community Solidarity Hub to provide confidential support, advice and a listening ear, while helping those affected access ongoing and practical assistance.

All are welcome - please share throughout communities.

What an incredible gesture from Gary! Thank you 🙏

This has been one of the toughest weeks we have experienced at Foodstock for some time, but this news has given us all a massive lift.

A huge thank-you to Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol and everyone at The Lightbody Foundation for providing Foodstock with an incredible £10,000 to help us continue our work across communities - from reaching hundreds of people every week through community meals to supporting thousands of children through our healthy breakfast clubs.

This incredible gesture will help so many people at a time when support is needed more than ever.

Thank you so much - an incredible act of solidarity. 💚

All donations welcome!

West Belfast - we need your school uniforms! 👔🎒

Last year, our volunteers helped kit out more than 1,500 children by redistributing good-quality, pre-loved school uniforms back into the community - easing financial pressure on families while also supporting the environment by reducing waste. ♻️

This year, we are collecting throughout June before opening our Pre-Loved School Uniform Hub from 1 July until 13 September.

We are looking for:

✅ Good-condition nursery, primary and secondary school uniforms ( All West Belfast schools)
✅ P.E. kits
✅ Good-condition school bags
✅ New stationery items and sets

Please donate to:

We are partnering with Foodstock today at our Doggy Dander. Alongside our usual mix of dandering, dogs and deadly craic we will be raising donation for the amazing work that Paul Doherty and the team at Foodstock do.

We will be accepting cash and card donations as well as physical donations of food. Those can be left with our friends at Seven Coffee before or after the Dander.

Also remember that our free Community Picnic starts at 2.20pm and everyone is welcome. You don't have to do the dander to drink the coffee!! Everyone welcome.
