Tackling the root causes of food poverty
Support - Community - Practical Help
Crossroads Community Hub
The Crossroads Community Hub is based in Newton, Chester. We are a project that looks to address the root causes of food poverty. We do this by running activities such as our foodbank (in partnership with West Cheshire Foodbank), Meeting Place Cafe, Greenway Grocer and Budgetting Support Sessions.
About Us
Foodbank

Budgeting Support
Struggling with knowing where your money goes every month? Need some help to get on top of bills and outgoings? Or maybe you just want to gain more confidence with your finances. If so, get in touch with us for details of our budgeting sessions that will help you understand your income and outgoings.
Greenway Grocer
Look out for the bike! Our purpose built bike can be seen out and about delivering fresh food. Interested in having us come to you? Get in touch.
Fresh Fruit & Veg
We deliver fresh food that is available at a very reasonable price to encourage people to choose healthy alternatives.
Delivered by Bike
The Greenway Grocer bike delivers both people and food all at the same time!
Direct to School
We have visited local schools to encourage the next generation to learn to love healthy alternatives.
Healthy Eating
We don't want to just deliver emergency food. We want to give access for everyone to healthy food like fresh fruit and vegetables. The Greenway Grocer delivers fresh fruit and veg and we provide these as a part of our food parcels.
Affordable Alternative
We believe that everyone deserves to have access to their basic needs, including food. This means that, as well as emergency free food, we want to supply alternatives like our pantry that deliver affordable food to anyone who may struggle to buy at full prices.
Part of our Vision
Our vision is not just limited to the provision of emergency food, but includes the aim to deliver activities that tackle the root causes of food poverty.
Special Thanks to our Funders and Partners
Sanctuary Seekers
Refugees leave their homes, families, jobs, communities… their whole lives behind. Many have experienced severe trauma, loss and distress. We are seeking to welcome people seeking refuge in our community. We want to play our part to welcome refugees and asylum seekers into Chester.
We are thankful that Chester is recognised as a City of Sanctuary and we work closely with this and other organisations that welcome and support sanctuary seekers in our city.
To help us in this, we are part of the Welcome Churches Network.
Jackie oversees our work and activities with sanctuary seekers and asylum seekers. Get in touch if you have any questions.
Gardening Project
Get back to nature and relax in our grounds. Any level of experience is catered for, and all ages are welcome.
