Dare2Care
What is our dare2care project?
Motivated by compassion for the most vulnerable in our society, we recognise the dignity and worth of every individual. Our charity welcomes all people, regardless of background, belief, nationality, or disability.
We are proud to work alongside statutory agencies, community and voluntary organisations, and local businesses, all united by a shared goal, tackling poverty in our community.

More Than A Food Bank
Providing food is so much more than providing relief and alleviating symptoms of food poverty. The hand that hands the bag of food is the hook that says we care. It is a step into the family unit that allows us to journey alongside each person striving to eradicate poverty and ensure positive life changes for disadvantaged people for as long as they need support.

Advice & Support
Dare2Care does not just provide food, we provide emotional support, we listen and we will signpost to the appropriate agency when necessary.
