Whitehaven Foodbank

Organisation: North Lakes Foodbanks

Foodbank centres operated by North Lakes Foodbank across Cumbria, including locations in Cockermouth, Workington, Whitehaven, Egremont, Wigton and Maryport. Each centre provides emergency food parcels for people in crisis, usually accessed through a referral or food voucher issued by a recognised local agency. Opening times and locations vary by centre. Support is normally accessed via a referral from a professional or organisation (such as social care, housing, schools, GPs or advice services). The website allows people to find their nearest centre and view opening times.

If you’re in financial crisis, call the Citizens Advice Help Through Hardship helpline on 0808 208 2138. If appropriate, they’ll help you access an emergency food parcel.
