“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”
The inability to feed yourself and/or your family is a very real crisis faced by many people across the UK and especially here in Newquay today.
Whatever your background or employment status, any one of us could be one pay check away from needing the support of the Foodbank.

The Newquay Foodbank was founded in 2011 by the Community, to support the Community, we have one aim, to help those who need us back to financial independence.
Our aim is achieved by providing food and other essential items to address the immediate need, then working with a wide variety of agencies to get access to support plans to get people back on their feet.
Whatever your background, what ever your employment or housing status, we are here to support you in your individual situation. Never question whether you qualify, if you need us, get in touch.
The Trussell Trust supports communities and churches to open foodbanks across the UK.
Our foodbank is part of The Trussell Trust’s network of 428 foodbanks, working to tackle food poverty and hunger in our local communities, as well as across the UK.
The Foodbank Network was founded in 2004 after four years of developing the original foodbank based in Salisbury. Since then The Trussell Trust has helped communities work together to launch foodbanks nationwide in a wide range of towns and cities.
In 2022/23, food banks in the Trussell Trust’s network provided 2,986,203 three-day emergency food supplies and support to UK people in crisis. Of these, 1,139,553 were distributed for children.
As a network, we want to see more people helped out of crisis and fewer people needing foodbanks in the future. That’s why The Trussell Trust and local foodbanks are working together to develop new ways to help people out of crisis through programmes like More Than Food.
