Terms of use

foodbanks.co.uk is a free, independent directory of food banks, pantries and community larders across the United Kingdom. We are a directory only. We are not a food bank, we hold no food, we do not issue vouchers, we do not accept referrals and we do not give welfare or financial advice. Always contact the local organisation directly.

If you need urgent help, contact your local food bank using the details on its listing, or your council’s welfare team. In an emergency, call 999.

Listings are compiled from publicly available information and from details supplied by the organisations themselves. Opening times, addresses, referral requirements and contact details change frequently and can be wrong or out of date. We make no warranty that any listing is accurate, complete or current, and we recommend you telephone or check with the food bank before travelling.

Spotted something wrong? Please tell us using the report a listing issue form and we will review it.

You agree not to:

• scrape, harvest, copy or republish substantial parts of the directory without our written permission;
• use the site or the contact details in it to send marketing, spam or bulk messages;
• attempt to interfere with, overload or gain unauthorised access to the site or its infrastructure;
• submit false, misleading, offensive or unlawful information through our forms.

We may restrict access where these terms are breached.
