Woodley Foodbank
The Woodley Foodbank serves the people of Woodley and the surrounding area, fighting food poverty and ensuring that no one goes hungry.

We are part of the Pilot Light Trust, a registered charity set up by the churches of Woodley. We were established in 1997 and are proud to have served the local community for 25 years.

We support people who have been referred to us via official channels, whilst also accepting referrals from family and concerned friends and self-referral. We can offer support if you live in Woodley, Lower Earley, Earley, Twyford, Charvil and the surrounding areas.
