About Bridging the Gap (Manchester)
Our foodbank is operated by the charity Bridging the Gap (Manchester). Bridging the Gap is so much more than a foodbank. We run various projects that provide relief from poverty or support people out of poverty.
Some of our projects specifically provide additional support to our foodbank clients and some of our projects are provided in collaboration with local schools and professionals.
Additional Support for our Foodbank Clients
- Financial Inclusion – we have trained advice workers from Citizens Advice Manchester & Manchester Mind in our foodbank sessions to provide our clients with advice around benefits, housing & debt. For more information click here.
- Winter Support – we provide multiple projects to support the community through the winter months including Warm Spaces, Winter Warmer Packs, Elder Care Hampers & Christmas Toy Sacks. For more information click here.
Family Support Projects
- Holiday Hunger – in partnership with local schools we support families with food parcels at times when free school meals are not available. For more information click here.
