Stay Safe Team Ipsley

Over the break, it’s important that everyone in Team Ipsley knows how to stay happy, healthy and safe.  As teachers are on holiday, we will not be monitoring the phone lines or emails.

“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
