"Sheffield is a city where everybody loves each other ❤️", says our manager, Chris, and we couldn't agree more! We're reminded of this every day when we receive donations, however big or small, or hear that someone is fundraising for us. 👉🏼 Sheffield is a city that cares about its own. Thanks for everything you do to help us to support communities in need ❤️🩹 #SheffieldIsSuper #Foodbanks Trussell

About us
In 2024, what is the true cost of surviving? Could you put a figure on what your household needs to survive on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis? More to the point, what happens when your income falls short? When the sums just don’t add up, how can you make ends meet, especially during a cost-of-living crisis that shows no signs of abating? At Sheffield S6 Foodbank, we’re shining a light on the true cost of surviving for families all across the city. From rent and mortgages to food and hygiene products, debt payments, gas and electric, school holidays, digital access, and more, we’ll be sharing the daily decisions that people across Sheffield make to simply survive. That’s the reality of life for so many of us, especially for the 1500+ people that we support every week in our foodbank centres; that’s the cost of surviving. Daily, we hear from people who have to choose between paying their energy bills, repairing the washing machine, buying new shoes for the kids, or putting food on the table. And the problem is only getting bigger. Each month for the next year, with the help of our amazing corporate supporters, we’ll be raising awareness of the issues that many of our guests are struggling with, and rallying support. Together, we can make a difference. Along with providing emergency food, your support enables our trained volunteers and partner agencies to provide support with debt, benefits claims, budgeting, housing, employment, and signposting for mental health and wellbeing. Because hunger and foodbank use is rarely just about food. It’s about surviving. Can you support us by donating money, raising awareness, or partnering with us? Thank you for all you do!

Thanks so much Ogilvie Fleet team! 🎄
Our Sheffield office team have been buying extra items of food and household items all month for the S6 Foodbank. These were delivered last week alongside supermarket vouchers to support this brilliant charity over the Christmas break. A great effort from our Sheffield colleagues!

Huge thanks to the team at Fairport Construction Equipment Ltd for the ongoing support. Each Christmas we love to see the team giving back by volunteering and donating to support our work. Great to see you, as always James Porter 🎄 ❤️ #SupportLocal #Sheffield #Foodbanks
This Christmas, I had the privilege of representing Fairport Construction Equipment by visiting the Sheffield S6 Foodbank, where I helped out and delivered our donation to support the amazing work they do for the local community. It was a humbling experience to see their dedication firsthand. Being part of a Sheffield-based company that cares about giving back to the local community makes me incredibly proud. #SheffieldCommunity #GivingBack #LocalCommunity #Fairport #SheffieldBusiness #ConstructionIndustry #LocalBusiness #Donation

Thanks so much Liam Easthope and all at Utilita Energy! We're looking forward to having you back with us in the New Year 💡 #Foodbanks #Sheffield #SupportLocal
We've just dropped off 30 Selection Boxes and some of our leaflets down at S6 Foodbank 🎅🎄I managed to have really good catch up with Chris and Bethany and I was surprised at the amount of extra support they are giving to other local independent foodbanks in and around Sheffield but also up and down the UK in just the last 12 months alone. We are proud to announce that we will be starting our weekly drop in sessions on a Friday from the 3rd January 2025 to help users with there energy usage promote the fantastic work we do at Utilita Energy and in our Hub. We will also look at getting some dates booked in to help out in the warehouse to help support the team the best we can. #community #utilita #emergyhubs #donations

Thanks to Katie Baugh and the whole Moore Insight team for supporting us this Christmas time 🎄 There are so many charities doing amazing work across Sheffield, so we're really happy that you chose to support us, along with the fantastic Mission Christmas appeal! #SheffieldIsSuper #Foodbanks
I spent some time this morning dropping off donations from the Moore Insight team to some incredible charities: S6 Foodbank and Mission Christmas for Cash for Kids South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire. It was amazing to meet the volunteers behind such important causes and see the vital work they do, especially around Christmas.🎄 In Sheffield, 33% of children are living in poverty, which means donations are more important than ever.
