Foodbank moves and we have a new manager…

10th December 2020

Initially we moved temporarily to St Joseph’s Hall in Rosetta Road, but have now moved to new permanent premises in Cavalry Park. We are very grateful to Father Tony Lappin and the congregation of St Joseph’s for allowing us to use their hall for seven months.

Now we are at 1, Silverbirch Studios, Cavalry Park, Peebles, EH45 9BU

We have also appointed a part-time paid manager who has taken up post from 7th December 2020.

Her name is Fiona Dalgleish (personal contacts; 07710 486145, [email protected])

Immediately Fiona will be sorting out the move and setting up an office. Her title is Development Manager as the trustees plan is to extend the services of the foodbank from simply providing emergency food parcels to also address the emotional and spiritual needs of our clients as set out in our constitution. With the new premises there is room to meet people as well as the larger warehouse. For the time being the basic opening hours of the warehouse remain 10-12 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Further announcements will follow.
