How To Get Help
If you’re struggling to put food on the table, you are not alone. Support is available, and Foodshare is here to help.
Over 60 local organisations across Maidenhead and the surrounding areas can talk through your situation and, if appropriate, issue you a Foodshare voucher. This voucher allows you to collect food once a week from our Foodshare service.
How to Get a FoodShare Voucher
Not sure where to start? Here are some easy first steps:
If you have children in school, ask the school. Many schools are linked with support networks and can help connect you to the right place.
Health visitors or children’s services – they can often assist if you have young children or family needs.
Housing Solutions / Housing Officers, if you’re already in contact with housing services, they can assess your needs and issue a voucher.
Social Prescribers (through your GP surgery), doctors and health professionals can refer you to a social prescriber, who can provide food support and issue vouchers.
Already working with a support agency? Your support worker can help you access Foodshare support quickly.
Citizens Advice Bureau, they offer free, confidential advice on many issues, including help with food.
