About us
The Salvation Army in Guisborough has long been a cornerstone of community support, offering a compassionate and practical response to the challenges faced by local residents.
Situated at the Guisborough Citadel, the organisation provides essential help to people experiencing hardship, with a focus on food support, wellbeing, and inclusive community spaces.
A key part of their work is the local foodbank, which ensures that individuals and families struggling to afford basic groceries can access emergency food parcels when they need them most.
Working alongside referral partners such as schools, housing support teams, and health services, the foodbank helps bridge the gap during difficult periods.
Though discreet and simple in operation, this service plays a life-changing role for many who suddenly find themselves unable to afford essentials.
It also forms part of a broader local network working to tackle food insecurity across the Redcar and Cleveland area.
In addition to emergency food support, the Salvation Army hosts a popular Bacon Buns Coffee Morning, which has become a friendly social gathering open to everyone in the community.
For just £1.30, visitors can enjoy a fresh bacon bun alongside free tea and coffee, served in a relaxed, informal setting.
Together, these services show how the Salvation Army in Guisborough is quietly but powerfully helping people feel less alone, whether by providing a meal, a conversation, or a safe space to pause and feel cared for.
By responding to both urgent needs and deeper social challenges, the Citadel continues to be a place where dignity, hope, and community come together.
