WHAT
WE DO

Crisis Support

Our crisis support is a lifeline for individuals and families facing urgent hardship. Whether it's a family rebuilding their lives after fleeing domestic violence, an elderly person struggling to replace a broken cooker or someone experiencing homelessness in need of warmth and comfort, we step in to provide essential items when they are needed most.

Through community support, donations and grants we provide:

White goods, furniture or carpets for those starting over

Clothing and toiletries for those escaping crisis situations

Sleeping bags and warm essentials for people facing rough sleeping

By responding quickly to urgent needs, we ensure that no one has to go without the basics during their most difficult times, helping to restore dignity, comfort and hope to those in crisis.

Donate

Punk Against Poverty supports local communities to take DIY approaches to life’s difficulties.

We work to provide immediate help to people in our community struggling with poverty. Our positive pathways support young people out of poverty through education and employment projects, with a goal of ending poverty completely.

Our passion is being there for people facing poverty right when they need it most. We work to end the poverty of opportunities faced by many young people from deprived backgrounds.

We aim to tackle poverty and community issues through innovative grassroots schemes that involve and engage the community, and remind people of their worth in times when it can be easy to forget.

The PUNK PANTRY

Our Punk Pantry located on Fore Street in St Marychurch is accessible 24 hours a day, providing food and toiletries to anyone in need. Donations can be left in here, and items can be taken with no questions asked.

Thanks to Orestone Wealth Management for allowing us to locate this essential community resource outside of their premises.

School Uniform

Getting school uniform for growing children can be very expensive. We take donations of school uniform, distributing it to people across Torbay and Cranbrook who need it the most, and work to support and advise schools on their uniform policies and supporting families.

Our Shop

Our shop located in Fore Street, St Marychurch. Offers a range of stylish and affordable preloved and new clothing and accessories. Every penny spent helps support our work to fight poverty.

Path to Pay

Path to Pay is our transformative education and employment programme for young people from deprived backgrounds. We engage young people in tailor made work based training and education to improve their chances of employment and breaking out of the poverty cycle.

We are a Community Interest Company (CIC)

A community interest company (or CIC) is a special form of non-charitable limited company, which exists primarily to benefit a community or with a view to pursuing a social purpose, rather than to make a profit. Being a CIC ensures that all profits and assets are used for public good.
