families in need
FIND is a Suffolk charity which supports all those in need, regardless of faith or circumstance.
For over 30 years, Families in Need (FIND) Ipswich has offered a lifeline to people in Ipswich and the surrounding areas who are experiencing poverty and despair.
We provide free food parcels and personal care items to help people get through a crisis, as well as furniture, bedding and other household items where the person or family has none.
An army of over 80 volunteers regularly give their time freely to check and sort the donated food, collect items from local stores, make up the food parcels and deliver them.
It’s a six-day a week operation.
The demand for food parcels has risen year on year and FIND now distributes an average of 8,000 every year.

If you need support, please contact a referring agency here for help in the first instance.
Volunteer VAN
driver needed
Can you spare a couple of hours a day (mornings), once or twice a week?
We urgently need a volunteer driver to collect food donations from a local supermarket.
​
You would be driving the FIND van, a Vauxhall Vivaro, and must be over 30 with a clean driving licence (standard - category B).
​
Expenses are negotiable.

THANK YOU!
Thanks to all our friends and supporters - individuals, schools, workplaces, churches and other groups who generously support the work of FIND - through donations of food and other goods, money, or as volunteers.
​
We value every donation, however large or small, and whether it's a one-off gift or on a regular basis. Without your help we could not support so many individuals and families through difficult times.
