Our services
Everything below happens in Olney, Buckinghamshire — funded locally, delivered locally, and kept confidential.
How we help
Scroll through each service. Green means help you can receive; terracotta means help you can give.
Foodbank & food support
“Whether it’s help with bills, food, or other expenses, we are here to assist.”
We hand out 15–20 food parcels every month from the Olney Centre on the High Street. There is no referral, no form and no means test. Come during opening hours, take what you need, and leave. If bills or other costs are the pressure, tell us — we can often help with those too.
Counselling & therapy
“We can offer financial support so you can obtain local counselling and therapy services.”
In Milton Keynes the wait for an NHS counsellor can be up to two years. We work with Cobbs Garden Surgery to fund private sessions with local counsellors and therapists for people referred to us, and anyone with an MK46 postcode can refer themselves.
Emergency assistance
“In times of crisis, we are here to help. We offer emergency assistance to those in need.”
Sometimes it isn’t food — it’s a meter that has run out, a bill that cannot wait, a week between one income and the next. Get in touch and we will look at what we can do quickly and quietly, in complete confidence.
Community outreach
“We work to promote community engagement and outreach, bringing people together to support one another.”
Isolation is as real here as it is anywhere. We work with groups, churches, schools and the town council across Olney and the wider MK46 area so that help finds people rather than waiting for people to find help.
Events & workshops
“We organise various events and workshops throughout the year, promoting mental health and wellbeing, community engagement, and more.”
From wellbeing sessions to fundraising events on the High Street, our programme is small, regular and open to everyone in the town.
Volunteering
“We offer various volunteer opportunities for those who want to get involved in their community.”
We are always looking for volunteers, particularly for fundraising. If you have an idea for an event or activity, we would love to hear it — a few hours a month makes a genuine difference to what we can hand out.
