Local Influence

StoreHouse is designed to help meet the needs of our wider community through providing food supplies to those who, through whatever circumstances, are not able to provide adequately for themselves or their immediate family.

StoreHouse will help meet needs caused by rising food prices and increased poverty.

In addition to our weekly food bank, StoreHouse operates a Breakfast Hub for those who need additional support.

A new Community Hub bringing people together from Penrith and the wider Eden Valley area.

Whatever your circumstances, we will offer various activities, services and programmes aiming to provide for and adapt to the needs of the community.

Is purchasing new school uniform simply too expensive?
Then maybe we can help.

We offer a School Uniform Bank, enabling parents to access free school uniform, school supplies and basic essentials for their children. Our stock comprises of new, unused, and used (good condition) plain and branded school uniform. We also have basic essentials like pens, pencils etc.

As we only host the uniform bank once a year, our collection and distribution times are limited. You can stay up to date by following our StoreHouse Facebook page, for news on collection points and dates for our School Uniform Bank.

Through Baby Bundles we support expectant mothers in our communities who are struggling with the financial aspect of providing for their new baby.

Women can be referred to us during their pregnancy by their community midwife and we provide them with a gift of a Moses Basket packed with essentials they’ll need for their newborn; including clothing, blankets, nappies, wipes and other toiletries, as well as a gift for the mum.

We accept donations of good quality, second hand baby items and financial donations to enable us to buy items which must be brand new. For more information please message our community Facebook page.

We also hold Baby Events throughout the year. These are for the whole community and items are donated in new or nearly new condition. Anyone can come and take what they need, this is open to all!

Alongside our weekly programmes and events, we also run many other one-off community events, across all our locations.

These vary from location to location, but all consist of a community focus aiming to help and support local people including families and children.
