Chichester District Foodbank

Who we are

Chichester District Foodbank supports people experiencing hardship to end hunger and poverty in our district. We do this by giving people emergency food and household essentials. At the same time, we listen to people and help them improve the situations that have led them to experience poverty. 

We offer direct support, referrals to a wide range of services and signposting to relevant support. We challenge unfair systems that drive people into poverty through our campaigns and seek to give people who have experienced poverty a voice.

Our culture and values

We are committed to justice and ending poverty in Chichester District.

We are compassionate and stand in solidarity with people that need the help of the foodbank. We put the wellbeing of people served by the foodbank above everything else. We always uphold and protect their dignity and treat everyone with respect.

We are committed to welcoming and caring for all staff, volunteers and clients.

We hold ourselves accountable and acknowledge and assume responsibility for actions, decisions, and consequences – as individuals and as an organisation.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Chichester District Foodbank is committed to providing equal employment opportunities and avoiding unlawful discrimination. We value diversity, and we seek to provide all staff with opportunities for employment, rewarding work, and personal development based on ability, qualifications and suitability for the work as well as their potential to be developed into the job.

We believe that people from different backgrounds can bring fresh ideas, thinking, and approaches that make the way work is undertaken more effective and efficient.
