What a great day we have had down at the bid.
Lots of relieved parents with their £1 bargain
Free books for both children and adults. Of course we themed our lunch around all things sweet & fun ❤️
Understanding our community need and making it a bit more cheerful along the way

We are aware that most schools are jumping on the idea that it's just not cost effective for parents to purchase outfits in the current climate and we hope that by next year all schools will have adopted this attitude and have a pj day or a comfy clothes day

It's all go go go down at the bid this morning
World book day at just £1
DresSos keeping it real for the community ❤️

We are truly grateful to all our supermarket partners and FareShare Greater Manchester for providing this food to share❤️

Wythenshawe we need to be heard👇
When children are hungry, they can't learn in school. Will you join me in urging Rishi Sunak to extend #FreeSchoolMealsforAll ? ➡️

Well......
As the saying goes ....
When life gives you lemons...
Someone's ordered too many!
Oh no maybe that's not the saying 🤔
Anyway a busy night with a Bideford food table and then a collection that filled the van including if you hadn't already guessed........
Lemons 🍋🍋

It's important we reach everyone who may need a helping hand
We cannot only provide food on a 9-5 basis.
Tonight's free hub was at 8pm at bid
Working with supermarkets and FareShare Greater Manchester to cut food waste and help our community ❤️

Another great day down at the bid
Lots of fresh fruit and veg
Keeping our community fed
❤️

Cheese and crackers for Nye ?
We are having a lovely morning here at bid ❤️

You may see we have gone quiet on here. That's because we have been extremely busy over Xmas
We don't close our service in fact this is when a community is needed the most.
We have fed 1000s of families all year and will continue to do so over the toughest time of the year

Stay safe, look after those that need a helping hand ❤️
