Directory of Community Food Provision Across St Helens Borough - APRIL 2025 Edition
Across the Borough, many local organisations are working side by side as part of the St Helens Borough Community Food Providers Alliance to create innovative food projects that support individuals and families. By working together - community groups, charities, and the public sector - we’re making sure that everyone has access to delicious, nutritious, and affordable food. From sharing surplus food to promoting smart shopping and cooking, our initiatives help people stretch their budgets while cutting down on waste.
