Paddock Trust

Great to see the impact this partnership is having already. We're proud to work alongside Batley Food Bank, helping people access advice, support and practical solutions when they need them most.

💚

Here’s a little insight into what we have achieved so far. So proud of our service and what we can offer ❤☀️

On Employability Day, we’re proud to showcase the team behind the work at Paddock Trust!

Through our Step by Step and Employment Kirklees projects, we provide flexible, outreach-based support in community settings across Kirklees, meeting people where they are.

Our support goes beyond job searching, it’s about building confidence, removing barriers and supporting people through real-life challenges, whether that’s financial difficulties, health, digital skills or caring responsibilities.

Every journey looks different, and we take the time to understand what works for each individual, providing the right support at the right time.

We’re proud of the work our team does to help people take those next steps, not just into work, but towards something sustainable and right for them.

You’ll often find us out in the community, supporting people where it matters most.”

We are delighted to be partnering with Batley Food Bank from 18th May 2026 to deliver an Advice & Guidance Service right within the food bank.

This is a fantastic step forward in making support more accessible for our community, offering practical advice exactly where it’s needed most.

Strong partnerships create stronger communities 💚, and we’re proud to be working together to support people across Kirklees.

Watch this space for more details — we can’t wait to get started!

From 18th May 2026 we will have an Advice Service within the food bank to help support people with debt management, employment, budgeting, form filling and housing support. Look for further information coming soon on social media and on our website
