When we first make contact with a client, we ask them if they have enough food. If they don’t we put together a care package for them. We always ask if there is anything they particularly need, but a typical SCPA care package might contain the following:
Bread, butter, eggs, cheese, jam, soup, pasta, pasta sauce, tea/coffee, biscuits.
In addition to this, many of our befrienders will take their clients for a food shop to help them when they have run out of money for the month. We also give Tesco vouchers to clients who are struggling with the costs of food or fuel.
