About us

Our charity was initially set up as an emergency food bank during the first COVID 19 lockdown, in March 2020. This quickly developed into a multi-faceted charity for the whole community, and we now provide a broad range of services to support those most in need. The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation aims to improve the standard of living and wellbeing for all local residents, and we need your help and support to do that.

We offer a number of different services and each of them can only survive if we continue to receive regular donations and support. We urge to only give what you can, be it a one off donation or a monthly payment, we'd be delighted to receive your help. 

Our Food Bank

Our foodbank has supported 70,000 people across Northamptonshire since 2020. This includes over 70 primary and secondary schools, Northamptonshire mental health services including PCART, UCAT and N/STEP, the Northamptonshire Domestic Abuse Service, Northamptonshire Social Services, HM Prisons and Probations service and the Northamptonshire Children’s Trust. 

We provide regular food parcels to many children, families and individuals across the local community – helping to combat hunger.

Our Social Clubs

We have three weekly social clubs, which each aim to support members of our community in a slightly different way. Our Monday Club runs every Monday from 12-4pm, and is open to the whole community - we offer hot drinks, a lunch, live music, a raffle and bingo, to get everyone having some fun in a welcoming, friendly space! Run in partnership with Northamptonshire Social Subscribers, Cheers for Tuesdays is our men's club, run every Tuesday from 2-4pm. It has loads of games and activities on offer for local men, including darts, pool, indoor golf and cards! Finally, Stay Well Wednesdays is our wellbeing club, run every Wednesday from 10-1pm. We run a keep-fit class, as well as fun activities to get your mind and body moving. On top of this, there's wellbeing talks, and affordable hair and nail care services on offer. 

All of our clubs make a huge difference to those they support. 

Doorstep Buddies
Aimed towards those in our community who are most isolated, we've created a doorstep buddies service where one of our friendly volunteers drops by to visit residents for a quick chat and to make sure they are coping ok, on a weekly basis.

Home & Garden Renovations

We offer free home and garden renovations to those who will benefit most from them, and may not be able to do so themselves. Whether there are financial barriers, or health issues that may prevent someone from renovating, we will support them in whatever way we can. No matter their circumstance, everyone deserves a comfortable, safe and accessible home and living space.

Schools Support

On top of our food bank, we also offer specialised support to the schools in our aid network. We regularly distribute Breakfast Boxes, School shoes, Tech4Kids and more to local schoolchildren, ensuring no child struggles due to disadvantages. 

Cookery & Digital Inclusion Classes

Our cookery classes offer a welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds to develop their knowledge, gaining both basic skills and an understanding of more complex dishes. These sessions help individuals to lead independent, and self-fulfilled lives.

Our digital inclusion classes provide an opportunity to get equipped with the vital skills needed to stay up to date with current tech - we develop people's knowledge to ensure they can access vital services online.

We need your help so we can continue to offer and even expand our services.

Thank you for your support and good luck!
