South Cotswolds Foodbank supports people in hardship across the Cotswolds with an emergency parcel containing food & other essentials.

We also provide financial‑resilience building support to help people break free from needing to use food banks.

A huge thank you to everyone at St. James's Place for supporting South Cotswolds Foodbank with a recent food drive. 💚

As part of their Foundation Fortnight celebrations, marking the incredible achievement of raising £150 million for good causes since 1992, colleagues set themselves a goal of collecting 150 items from our shopping list to help local people struggling to afford food and other essentials.

When our driver Peter visited to collect the donation, he was warmly welcomed by Polly and Clare, who handed over an amazing 78.15kg of food and household essentials.

Thank you to everyone at St. James’s Place for your generosity and support. 🌟

🌾💚 LET’S MAKE THIS OUR BIGGEST HARVEST YET! 💚🌾

We’re calling on our amazing South Cotswolds community to help us create a bumper harvest and prepare for the winter months, when demand for South Cotswolds Foodbank is at its highest.

Schools across Cirencester, Tetbury and surrounding villages are already Going Green for Harvest 💚 with Green Non-Uniform Days and £1 donations.

A huge thank you to everyone already donating food, money and time. You’re helping make a real difference. 💚

Now let’s make this harvest extra special:

🥫 Food donations fill our shelves
💚 Financial donations keep our doors open

Donations help cover warehouse costs, heating, fuel and vehicle running costs, as well as invaluable financial advice and resilience support through Citizens Advice.

🌾 Can you help us create a bumper harvest?

Every donation, big or small, helps us be there when people need us most.
