We have some exciting news

12th June 2021

After 2 years of hard behind the scenes work The Forest Food Bank is now an independent charity. We are now a CIO.
Coleford Baptist Church has been an integral part of The Forest Food Bank. In the lead up to 2013 many churches got together with the Baptist Church in Coleford where a number of the church members became Trustees of The Forest Food Bank.
During the last few years, it was felt that the size of the food bank now warranted it becoming an independent charity, able to draw on a larger pool of Trustees.
We will continue to operate as part of the Trussell Trust network and to serve the needs of the people of the Forest area. Coleford Baptist Church along with the other local Churches, will continue to support the work of the Food Bank and its new Trustees.
We will share a statement by the new Trustees very soon.
Thank you for your continued support.
