B inspired is a neighbourhood-based charity in Braunstone, Leicester. The Neighbourhood Support Team work to provide support to local people and address the issues they face in their everyday lives.
One of the ways we serve the community is through our Foodbank scheme, ‘Braunstone Foodshare’. The purpose of Braunstone Foodshare is to work towards alleviating food poverty in Braunstone. This is a means-tested, membership-based scheme, that is available to people in need who live within the LE3 1 postcode area.
When a local resident gets in touch to request our support, we will initially give them a one-off emergency food bag. If the person needs longer-term support, then the next step is to apply to become a member via a sign-up process - to determine their eligibility and understand their needs. Eligible members of the scheme are then able to access food provision on either a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis - collected from b inspired’s Neighbourhood Support Base on Gallards Hill.
To refer yourself, or someone else for the Foodshare scheme, please use the Emergency Referral form below. A member of the team will contact you shortly to arrange for you to collect an emergency food parcel and make the necessary steps to provide with you with ongoing support, if required.
Participants must live in the Braunstone (LE3 1) area of Leicester
