At the September meeting members unanimously approved a grant application from South Normanton Area Foodbank. This funding will enable the foodbank to continue its weekly session at Alfreton House, providing essential support to local residents in need. Additionally, the funding will cover parking expenses for five volunteers each week, allowing them to continue their invaluable work in serving the community.
“Supporting our local foodbank is crucial, especially in these challenging times,” said Councillor David Taylor. “This grant not only provides essential resources for those in need but also recognizes the hard work of the volunteers who dedicate their time to help others. We are proud to support such an important initiative in our community.”
The weekly sessions are held on a Wednesday afternoon at Alfreton House, 2-3pm. For more information about the foodbank or to find out how you can help, please visit

DUWC will utilise this grant to offer an open-door service at Alfreton House for 2.5 days each week, ensuring residents have access to much-needed assistance. In addition, the Centre accommodates appointments at other times to further meet the needs of the community.
Key initiatives supported by this funding include:
1.Representation at Social Security Appeal Tribunals: DUWC will represent Alfreton residents facing social security issues, ensuring their voices are heard in court.
2. Home Visits: For individuals unable to attend in-person consultations, home visits will be provided to deliver support directly to their doorsteps.

Moreover, the DUWC collaborate with the South Normanton & Area Foodbank, which is also based at Alfreton House, to combat food poverty in the region. This partnership will help provide crucial assistance to families and individuals facing financial hardship.
