‘NotJUST A Store, NotJUST A Food Bank, Telford’ is a fundraising discount store with an independent food bank, pet food bank, and community fridge. 23 Bridge Road, Telford, Wellington, TF1 1ED.

Apart from being an environmentally and socially responsible solution to corporate food waste (funding the entire project saving up to 100 tonnes a month), Telford engages in a phenomenal amount of community work.

Between 2021 – 2023, Telford gave out 195,000 days’ worth of food. This averages at 250 people per week. It also houses the only Pet Food Bank in Shropshire, and has helped 149 families in the last 90 days. It can save items in bulk and distribute to smaller projects without the resources for free – and does so routinely.

This branch is facing the threat of closure due to increased demand, building repairs, and the Cost of Living Crisis.

The team’s plan is to relocate to several smaller shops based around Telford: making our services more accessible. This fundraiser campaign is to help cover costs associated with moving, health & safety, and equipment. Without help, the Telford Branch will be forced to close, which will have massive ramifications for the rest of the project and will threaten the security of our other locations.

Donations from the public and corporate sponsorship are greatly appreciated and essential for the project during its transition.
