Families in Need (FIND) Ipswich offers a lifeline to people in Ipswich and the surrounding areas who are experiencing poverty and despair – providing food and other household items for 30 years.

Last year, FIND moved to a new food bank headquarters next to Gainsborough Sports Centre which enabled it to meet the growing needs of the community.

All the people who receive food parcels are referred by local and regional agencies such as local councils, schools, GPs, support workers and the Police. Read more about the referring agencies that can help you access this support.

Covid-19 Appeal

FIND volunteers are working closely with us to bring food packs to vulnerable people in Ipswich who are not in the shielded group but are struggling to get basic necessities during the coronavirus crisis.

Food packs are being filled and delivered every week to those most in need. If you know someone who might need this support, tell them to contact Home, But Not Alone on 0800 876 6926.

If you can afford to donate or have time to volunteer it will help FIND continue their work at this difficult time and beyond. Read more about how you can help.
