How To Help

We couldn't support individuals and families without the kindness and generosity of people and local businesses. 

The past few years have shown just how kind and community-spirited the people of Derby are. There are many ways to support Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance. If you would like to support us please see the options below, or get in touch.

Food

If you would like to donate food, you can drop it off at one of our donation points around the city - please see our list of donation points. Otherwise, please call 01332 227728 and ask for Debbie Jones.

Gift Aid Your Donation

Gift Aid is a tax relief scheme, which allows UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer. This means that for every £1 you donate to a charity, this becomes £1.25. 

Did you know furniture donations can be Gift Aided to - so whether your donating money or furniture, we can claim for both.
