Discretionary Support

Northern Ireland has no Help through Hardship line — that covers England and Wales only. Discretionary Support gives you money towards short-term living expenses, including food, in a crisis. Depending on your circumstances it may be an interest-free loan or a grant, so ask which you have been awarded.

They don't publish their opening hours — worth trying, but don't count on it being answered.

What's nearby

Give us a postcode and we'll show you what's closest.

We know of food banks and free meals across the UK — but “nearby” isn't a question we can answer without knowing where, and handing you a list of the whole country would help nobody.

Any UK postcode — it doesn't have to be yours. Plenty of people are looking on behalf of someone else.
