The Balsam Centre’s story
Wincanton Food Bank’s mission is to help a generous community share its food resources with those facing food insecurity in Wincanton and the surrounding villages. Treating people with dignity, respect and confidentiality, whilst offering support without judgement. In early 2026, we relocated to the Quaker Barn on Wincanton High Street and also came under the support of the Balsam Centre.
In addition to our regular weekly food bank service, we plan to provide festive hampers to people in need in Wincanton and the surrounding villages. Each hamper will include festive items that recipients may otherwise be unable to afford, combining donated non-perishable goods with fresh produce such as meat and cheese, or vouchers to buy fresh items locally. The hampers will benefit adults, children and families in Wincanton and nearby rural communities who are experiencing food insecurity and cannot easily absorb the additional cost of the festive season.
