Story
What is Food4Pets?
Food4Pets has been set up by a group of local residents to support those who are struggling to feed and look after their pets during the cost-of-living crisis.
Pets are part of the family; they bring companionship, affection and mental wellbeing to so many, and it’s heartbreaking to see animals surrendered to local shelters as people are unable to afford to keep them.
How does it work?
Twice a week we open our doors and invite people who find themselves struggling to provide for their animal to come and collect animal food kindly donated by our wonderful community. We work besides the local foodbank once a week and then run a separate session each week where no referral is needed.
What can people get?
We offer food for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents and birds. As the service is entirely dependent on donations, we cannot guarantee we will always have everything but we will try our hardest. There will not be any perishable food as we cannot store it between sessions.

2 years agoPeople were so generous over the holiday period. It meant we were able to take away one more worry for those people in our community worrying about how they were going to feed their beloved pets, and tomorrow we will be dropping off over 400 servings to the local community supermarket and food bank. Thank you all so much for your continued support- every single penny is so appreciated.

2 years agoHi folks! So excited - getting ready to start distributing this week. Whilst we will be supporting our local food banks this week, we are really hoping to run a couple of sessions so those not referred to food banks but still struggling can come along and get help to keep their beloved pets. Here’s my 86 year old mom doing her bit today, bagging up and labelling over 50 kgs of donated dry food! (She wouldn’t even stop for lunch!) Thank you everyone- we’re almost there! A special shout out to our JustGiving donors- you are all amazing!

We can now start to open our doors, safe in the knowledge that we have enough to fund pet food for the first few weeks. Thank you so much to all our supporters and kind donors- you are helping keep people with their pets during this hard time
