Hive Hope Foodbank - times and locations

We have different criteria for attending our static and mobile foodbank.

For those attending our static foodbank at St Botolphs, we will require a proof of crisis. To apply you can contact us using our online form here, or email us at [email protected].

For those wanting to attend one of our mobile foodbank sessions, we don’t need proof of crisis.

Anyone who needs food can turn up and get help. We do operate a fair use policy to make sure there is enough food for everyone who needs it, so we do ask that people only take what they need.

What we do

For local people
in crisis.

We run a food bank which provides emergency food and toiletries for local people in crisis. We also take the time to listen to our clients and sign post them to other organisations that might be able to help them.


We are a Christian charity and do not judge those who need help but will do all we can to meet their immediate needs and work with them to find longer term solutions. We serve everyone, regardless of their beliefs.
