Ringwood Foodbank

  • Ringwood Foodbank Website

If you need help from our foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.

If you need help during these difficult times please get in touch with one of our agencies to get a referral to your  local foodbank.

If they feel you are struggling to put food on the table, they will issue you with a foodbank voucher.

The local agency can also provide long term support if needed to help address some of the issues behind the reasons for your crisis.

Once you have been issued with a voucher, this will be exchanged  for a minimum of three days of emergency food.  

Vouchers can be obtained for residents of Fordingbridge, Alderholt and surrounding villages at the following locations:

  • Fordingbridge United Reformed Church  01425 473407
  • New life Community Church – The Branch – 07909 711 886 or email 
  • Fordingbridge Surgery –  01425 653430
  • Alderholt Chapel – 01425 655155 or email www.alderholtchapel.org
  • Fordingbridge Information Office  01425 654560 or email 
  • Trinity United Church   01425 473407
  • Citizen Advice New Forest  0808 278 7860

Once we have received your referral/voucher, your nearest foodbank will attempt to call you to discuss your individual needs and let you know when you can expect to receive your food parcel.
