Overview
Families with children and individuals, elderly people, pregnant women and people with disabilities or life changing illnesses and many others who try to manage on their own until they can no longer cope. People come to BCP because they have no other choice - they can no longer afford to buy enough food to support their loved ones. BCP offers a maximum of 6 months help in the form of weekly foodbags, informed advice, signposting to free reliable advice services, basic skills development and personal support to enable them to make better informed decisions about how they are going to deal with their financial crisis. In 2025/26 BCP provided support to over 6,300 individuals, 500 community meals and over 100 Winter energy warm packs with huge thanks to our amazing volunteers.

Referral
People facing financial crisis can contact BCP direct and do not need to get a referral to access our services. All BCP members must be willing to share their financial information as we have many people arrive in desperate need of help. Confidential financial assessments are carried out by Citizens Advice.

Dietary needs
Through our foodbank BCP tries to assist people e.g. food allergies, diabetes, halal, vegetarians etc but please note that our food supplies are donated, so there is no guarantee we can achieve this all of the time, or every week.
Wheelchair access
Wheelchair access ramps are in place outside the front door on 'public' days or can be positioned there easily as required.
