Eccles Foodbank Centre
Connect Church, where our Eccles foodbank centre runs from on Friday mornings (11am - 1pm) is currently undergoing building work. This means that although we will still run a foodbank session from here, we have very limited space and the only entrance will be on Wellington Road. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Swinton Foodbank Centre
We are pleased to confirm that we will be opening a new foodbank centre based at Salvation Army, Station Road, Swinton at the end of June/beginning of July. We will confirm the exact date when known.
The Swinton Foodbank Centre will be opening on Friday mornings from 10am -12pm. We will then change the Eccles Foodbank Centre opening to a Thursday afternoon from 1pm - 3pm. This means we will have a foodbank session running every week day.

A-teams is the community arm of Audacious Church, Manchester. There are several free services that you can access.
The baby hamper project is about offering a service to expectant mums or mums with new babies (roughly aged up to 3 months old) who are in need of some help during this very important time.
We can assist by delivering a hamper of new goods which are the baby basics i.e. nappies, wipes etc and/or a package of second hand baby clothes which are in good condition.
Food parcels are also available for any person you feel is really in need of one.
