More than food

Woking Foodbank provides additional support to help people address the underlying issues behind their crisis.

Alongside emergency food, we have drop-in sessions across all of our centres, including:

Citizens Advice

We have Citizens Advice Drop-in sessions at all of our centres (except the Lighthouse at present – currently recruiting). They are able to provide free advice and support to clients on a range of problems, such as work, debt, benefits, immigration, housing and much more.

Signposting support

We support clients by signposting them to other local services relevant to their particular situation.

Social prescribing

The Woking Social Prescribing team can help link you to mental health support, social activities, benefits and housing advice, independent living support, practical help such as cooking, transport and shopping, carer support and much more.

Community Money Advice (CMA)

CMA can help you understand your finances and provide tailored debt and budgeting advice.

Timetable – October 2026
