Community Services in Eastwood

Supporting local residents since the 80s

We have many community-focused services in Eastwood and North Broxtowe to benefit local residents – from our popular Befriending and Transport Schemes, to our weekly Friday Food Bank, and other services such as photocopying and room hire

If you think you could make us of our services, please take a look around.

We have various community services here at Eastwood Volunteer Bureau & Food Bank

Our core services

Food Bank

Every Friday we gift food parcels to those in need. If you’d like access to our food bank, you must complete an assessment and meet our eligibility criteria.

Transport Scheme

Getting to important appointments at the doctors, hospital, dentist or simply just shopping or visiting friends is not always easy. Our Volunteer drivers will help you get where our need too be safely, comfortably and with dignity.

Befriending Scheme

We thrive on human interaction! If you’d like a cuppa and a natter, someone to help finish that jigsaw puzzle, or an hour of companionship, we’re here for you.
