In order to provide the most appropriate help for the circumstances of your situation, we work with local agencies. If they feel you are struggling to put food on the table, they will issue you with a foodbank voucher number. We provide emergency food parcels to individuals in financial crisis, including families and over 65’s. The local agency can also provide long term support if needed. Agencies we work with include: Citizens Advice, Housing Welfare Team, Barnsley Family Services, Barnsley Social Services, local schools, Mental Health Teams, Humankind, Romero Communities, Housing Associations, housing support officers, BSARCS, health visitors, GP surgeries and local charities.
