| About us | The foodbank was previously known as Clyde, Avon and Nethan Foodbank and has been in operation since 2012 in the grounds of Trinity Parish Church Larkhall. The Church closed in 2025 and in anticipation of this, the Foodbank was set up as an independent charity and renamed as ""Larkhall and District Foodbank"". The Foodbank operates under the auspices of the Trussell Trust, and has just taken on new premises in the main street of Larkhall. We open two days a week to provide food parcels to those in need. Our aims are: 1. To provide those in financial hardship with essentials such as nutritionally balanced emergency food, personal hygiene materials and cleaning items. 2.To prevent those in need who are referred to the foodbank in crisis, irrespective of age, gender, orientation, ethnicity, religion, ill health, disability, financial or other disadvantages from falling further into poverty. 3. To remove barriers for those in need by working in partnership with local organisations and by providing donations and information sessions. |
| Our Wish | We are a completely voluntary organisation with no paid employees. We would welcome donations of non-perishable food to help us continue our service. |
