The Light Church hosts Bradford Central Foodbank which feeds over 1300 people a month who are hungry and no where else to turn to feed their families.  

Bradford is ranked the 5th most income deprived local authority in England with 29% of children living below the poverty line. Debt, benefit delays, domestic violence or simply trying to survive on a very low income means that people we serve have reached rock bottom and can’t even afford to feed their families.

We provide a 3 day emergency food aid parcel providing vitally needed food for hungry families alongside a hot meal and a listening ear. We want to deal with the root cause of the food crisis so we have many in house services. We provide expert benefits advice from Equality Together in all our sessions and support from the Job Centre's Social Justice Team. We provide Job Coaching helping people back into work by giving people confidence and practically creating CV's and helping people apply for work. We give Asylum seeker support, fuel grants and SIM cards, a delivery service and taxi's for those who are too ill to leave the house or get home safely.

We work in partnership with Trussell and over 800 referral agency contacts in the city refer to us so we know that everyone who receives our help is hungry.

If you’d like to donate food, volunteer or need help please see our website

You can find us at Jubilee Centre, Jermyn Street, BD1 4EJ.
