Transformation Food Banks Canning Project

At Transformation Food Banks & Community Hubs, we are committed to improving food security in Cornwall. In 2024 alone, we provided over 134,320 meals to families and individuals in need. Despite the incredible generosity of our community – who donate food at collection points across Camborne, Pool and Redruth – we still face a shortfall that requires us to spend heavily to meet demand. In 2024, we spent £80,000 on nutrient and protein-rich food just to keep up.

To continue this vital work and bring long-term sustainability to our efforts, we’re proud to announce an exciting new initiative…

Cornwall’s first food bank-led canning venture, launched this May!

This pioneering project will allow us to reduce food purchasing costs, provide nutrient-rich tinned meals for our service users and distribute these meals to other food banks, larders and food cupboards across Cornwall at a reduced rate – amplifying our collective impact.

We’re aiming to raise £25,000 to help fund the launch of this initiative – and your support can make it happen.

Together, we can build a stronger, more food-secure Cornwall.
