Torrington Community Foodbank

Torrington Community Foodbank
​The Foodbank is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays 10-12 Noon for all who need a helping hand at the minute - no referral is necessary, just go along. (At the Baptist Church, New St).

Our volunteers will be there to help you on a confidential basis.

We offer emergency parcels for individuals and families who have run into financial difficulties.

​(Please check the Foodbank's Facebook page for any changes to opening times and updates).

It is important to stress how confidential this service is, and with the ever-increasing cost of living the Food Bank can really make a difference.

For further information, please click 
this link to go to Great Torrington Town Council's website, where confidential contact phone numbers may be found.

​Thank you to all the very kind people who are donating tins and dried foods to help us make up parcels for emergency use.
Torrington Foodbank Donation stations are at the Co-op, Lidl and Castle Hill. And we have re-introduced the Torrington Community Foodbank box at the back of our church for donations.

A list of items we have been asked to provide is available on our web page.

​​​If anyone would like to help as a volunteer, contact in the first instance, Colin Porter mobile number 07950 595136.

​To message the Foodbank, please visit their Facebook page.​

Great Torrington Memory Café

Great Torrington Memory Cafe
The Memory Café is a place where people with memory problems and their families/friends can visit to support each other and share information and experiences. The Café provides a friendly, informal and relaxed atmosphere for visitors to drop by. You can enjoy a free cup of tea/coffee and some cake, meet others in similar circumstances, have the opportunity to talk with members of the healthcare team and get advice, information and support about living with memory loss. You don’t have to have dementia to come and join us – there are various reasons for memory loss – stroke, head trauma or age related memory loss. If you have any concerns about your memory you can talk to a NHS professional about your concerns and get advice and guidance. Our café operates on a drop-in basis once or twice a month.

The Torrington Memory Cafe venue is at the Methodist Church.
