Food Bank

If you are ever worried where your next meal is going to come from, are going without meals so that your children can eat or finding it hard to feed your family, there is support available for you.

Please speak to our Pupil Family Support Workers or any other member of staff who you feel comfortable discussing your worries with.

If it is easier, you can email us at support@mendipgreen.extendlearning.org.  Your email will be seen by a limited number of pastoral staff, who will treat it with confidence. 

As a school we are able to issue food bank vouchers for you and your family. During the holidays, we can issue food bank vouchers just to cover the meals your children would usually have received at school.

Please note that food bank vouchers are signed and authorised by the Designated Safeguarding Lead, and therefore cannot be handed out immediately. However we will always get this to you as soon as we can. We are now able to issue foodbank vouchers via email and over the phone by giving you a code.

If you are in need of extra help during this difficult time we are here for you!

Please send us an email for more info or to request vouchers.

Email: support@mendipgreen.extendlearning.org

In the email please include:

• Your full name and address
• How many people live in your household and the ages of these people
• If you have valid ID that you can take to the food bank (recent utility bill is accepted)
• Brief reason as to why you require vouchers

All of the above are required for us to complete the application online for you.
