    VOUCHER REQUIRED

    St Paul's hosts a weekly Cambridge City Foodbank Welcome Centre, providing emergency food and practical support to people who have obtained a voucher from a referral agency. You will receive a parcel containing three-days of nutritionally balanced food for everyone in their household. We hope you will also find the Welcome Centre a friendly place, and a reminder that you are not alone and someone understands. Staff from other local agencies Citizens Advice and Wintercomfort are often available for additional advice and support.

    Please note it is now necessary to get a voucher before you arrive at the Welcome Centre.

    St Paul's was a founder member of Cambridge City Foodbank. Cambridge City Foodbank (CCFb) is an independent charity, closely linked with the Trussell Trust which works throughout the UK to help people in short term crisis. CCFb now operates across the city each week day, offering donated food to those who have been identified to be in need by a wide range of sevices such as health professionals, schools and social services.

    In need of additional support?

    You can contact Cambridge Citizens Advice on their freephone 08082 787808. The line can often be very busy and you may have to wait in a queue or call back at less busy times such as afternoons. At our Welcome Centre, we can put in a referral for you to request that Citizens Advice call you instead. Speak to any member of the Foodbank team to ask about getting a referral.
