Bourne End Community Centre is now a collection point for the One Can food bank.
Since 2011 One Can Trust has operated a foodbank based in High Wycombe, serving the town and the wider area of South Buckinghamshire. They work with local organisations, including Bucks Council and housing associations, to provide weekly food parcels to those who need help. They have seen a huge increase in requests for support due to the cost of living crisis. In addition to providing food for households who are struggling, they offer advice and support to help families tackle the causes of their financial difficulty.
