Support with food
We are aware it is an extremely difficult time for families during lockdown. We have been providing foodbank referrals since the first lockdown but we understand some parents maybe reluctant to ask for help or not aware we were supporting with this.
We currently have three different services helping support families with food parcels;
The Salvation Army are providing school with food parcels which families can collect from school
Handsworth Foodbank is delivering food parcels every Thursday and Friday
Memory Lane Tea Room is delivering a packed lunch to children on a Friday
Please use the link below if you wish to be referred for any of the above by Wednesday evening each week or alternatively ring the school office

Food Works
Food Works operate a city-wide project, partnering with hubs in different locations to give as many people access to professionally made meals for a minimum contribution of £1 per meal. The food is ordered and paid for online and then collected from a hub of their choice - Southern Light Community Church being one of these hubs.
https://thefoodworks.org/woodhouse-partner-hub/
Currently they open on Tuesdays between 10.30am and 1.30pm for collection of pre-ordered meals (frozen). They only require reheating in a microwave.

Each hamper is designed to last for 5 school days and therefore you may need to collect twice.
