Bangor Foodbank and Community Support

Our values are important to us, and we aim to live them out in all areas of our work.

• To provide relief to individuals and families in crisis in North Down, through the provision of emergency food supplies.
• To provide practical, mental and spiritual support either directly or by referral to approved partner agencies to enable individuals and families to avoid future crises.
• To raise awareness of the causes of food poverty and encourage both policymakers and local policy makers to take action.

• To provide emergency food, develop meeting places and campaign for food justice.

• We are passionate about what we do and the difference it makes in the lives of others

• We are compassionate; we give selflessly and put others before ourselves

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

• We are innovative, with the ambition to pursue new and creative ideas that have the potential to change lives for the better.

We empower and encourage staff, volunteers and clients to take the initiative and achieve their best, in a safe environment where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities.
