Who we are

Founded in 2016, Wythenshawe Foodbank has grown to include four centres across the area. Sadly, demand for our services has continued to rise each year.

To date, we’ve supported over 8,400 adults and 6,681 children, distributing more than 156,000kg of food to local people in crisis.

The foodbank is overseen by a dedicated board of trustees, with day-to-day operations led by Tom Allan and Karl McDonald.

My responsibilities are running the hub and sorting the donations. You’ll often find me at the sorting hub or on the road delivering food to our centers or collecting donations. I enjoy getting to know our wonderful volunteers at the hub and have a chat and a brew.
