Food banks and other food support

Food bank - Sketty Foodbank

Food parcel collection:

Wednesdays, 11.30am - 1.00pm

We will not be processing any food parcel requests (by phone or email) after 1.00pm on Wednesdays. Any requests after 1.00pm on Wednesdays will be processed the following week.

Who can get help

We partner with support agencies in Swansea who refer people to us who are in need of emergency food parcels. These agencies include Citizens Advice Bureau, Local Area Co-ordinators, Swansea Council, health visitors, GP practices, schools and churches. These support agencies also provide guidance and help in other areas such as mental health support, benefits guidance or debt advice.

Although we prefer to work through support agencies, we do get people who don't have a referral. We always supply a limited emergency food pack to our walk-ins but we also encourage them to contact a support agency so that they get additional help as well. If another food bank is closer to where you live, we will refer you there.

If you are currently registered with a support agency, they will order a food pack on your behalf. If you have an emergency, you can phone us directly or message us on Facebook. We can suggest an agency who can provide you with longer term support as necessary.

Donations: Members of the public can drop donations in to Parklands Church Hall on Tuesdays between 4.00pm - 6.00pm and Wednesdays 10.00am - 2.00pm. There are also collection baskets at CK's in Sketty Park, the Co-op in Sketty Cross and the Co-op in Tycoch.
