Are you struggling to get food supplies?  WALYC staff can offer support with food hampers for those affected by the following

  • Those self-isolating due to being in the shielded category *
  • Self-isolating, suspected or confirmed COVID 19
  • Those with income issues
  • Those unable to get enough food with in their locality (eg lack of facilities lack of car).
  • Those in the above categories without family / friend support for getting food.

*If you are in the shielded category please please register with Wigan Council or call 01942 489018.

Please don’t leave it too late, we normally need a day or two to turn something around on supplying food to families.
