About our foodbank
Here is an introduction to our project.
We are a small foodbank based in the village of Wyke, founded by the Wyke Christian Council of Churches. The foodbank serves Bradford South; BD6, BD12, BD13 & BD19.
Bradford is ranked the 5th most income deprived local authority in England with 29% of children living below the poverty line. Due to benefit changes, delays, debt, homelessness, domestic violence families are left without any money at all for weeks or months at a time, they can’t feed their families and can only turn to a Foodbank for help.
We work through a referral system with frontline agencies in Bradford who refer families so we know every family we help is desperate for food.
