The North Guildford Food Bank is a Christian Charity that started in 2012 and was registered in 2020 with the Charity Commission. We aim to provide temporary help for individuals and families living in the Guildford area and the immediate outlying villages through supplying food parcels, as well as signposting to other helpful local services. Working alongside Guildford based agencies and churches, we try to ensure that no-one goes hungry. We are also able to provide some help to clients through Fuel Vouchers if they are using prepayment meters.

St Clare’s Church is the main distribution centre for the NGFB where donations are also received. During the week, Food Bank also run a free cafe where everyone is welcome to come in for a friendly chat, company or some advice. The team work closely with other services in the community that seek to help individuals and families find the support they may need.

In order to receive a food parcel from The North Guildford Food Bank, clients have to obtain a referral from a recognised organisation. Some of our main referrers are: Home School Link Workers, Guildford Borough Council, Citizens Advice and Surrey County Council, but there are many others such as doctors surgeries, churches etc.
