LISKEARD & LOOE FOODBANK
The Foodbank helps individuals and families in crisis through the provision of emergency food, other necessities and help towards energy costs. Agencies refer people to the Foodbank Centre where they can collect or receive a home delivery. We also offer support to gain cooking skills and help to ensure clients maximise their income and in certain cases help to manage outstanding debts.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a material deficit of almost £79,000 for the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by a significant fall in grant income. Per the trustees' report, the financial outlook remains very uncertain due to rising demand, falling individual donations, and unclear future grant support, leading to expectations of another deficit in 2026.
