Get emergency foodCampaign
Find out how we’re campaigning to support the local community and end the need for food banks in the UK, ensuring no one needs a food bank to survive.
We are Wirral Community Advocates, a volunteer campaigning group of local people who have lived and learned experience of using foodbanks.
We are local to Wirral and want to see less people having to use the foodbank and to help make changes in order to alleviate poverty. We are supported by Wirral Foodbank and Trussell. We are running very important campaigns as mentioned below. We think you will find they are interrelated.
Interested in getting involved?
We hold an open meeting once a month for anyone who is interested in getting involved to come along and learn more about what we are campaigning on, what our group is doing and to take your first step in getting involved in positive community action! Our meetings are a safe space for people who have lived experience of financial hardship. We meet every first Wednesday of the month from 11:00–13:00 at St James Centre, 334 Laird Street, Birkenhead, CH41 7AL. We communicate via Whatsapp and e-mail and have flexible volunteering roles.
Get the chance to be part of a national and local movement to end the need for foodbanks, create community whilst improving your own local area, making friendships, learning skills such as facilitation, research, social media, influencing and team work. An opportunity to channel your frustrations into positive change!
