Despite the growing development of Salford, people are getting left behind to such an extent that the Mustard Tree charity, which runs food banks and clubs in Little Hulton and Eccles, has put out an urgent appeal as its stocks are running low...

"During 2016 Mustard Tree delivered over 21,000 meals in Little Hulton and Eccles through our various food operations, so the demand for food is extremely high" says Ian Welch, Salford Operations Manager "Whilst the provision of food and drink is essential, we use the act of eating together as an opportunity to listen to those who seek our support, with the ultimate aim of enabling people to escape poverty and homelessness for good.

"With annual increases in homelessness and poverty in Salford, we are finding a growing need for our food provision services and our food store is running low" he explains "We need your help so that we can continue providing this vital service. Any food donations made would be used to stock our Food Club and to make emergency food parcels for individuals and families in need of support."

The organisation is looking for donations of tins of meat, soup and veg; packets of pasta, rice, noodles and cereal; tea, coffee, biscuits, sugar and juice (see photo for full list) and toiletries like soap, cleansing wipes, tissues, toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, deodorants, sanitary products etc.

This follows last year's appeal by the Salford Central Food Bank on Mocha Parade, when stocks also ran low because of demand outstripping supply (see previous Salford Star article - click here)

Supplies can be dropped off at either of the Mustard Tree's hubs in Little Hulton or Eccles*

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

Star date: 17th May 2021

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

We are almost at the final closure of the Salford Star but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account. 

They will try to discredit you, block information and shut you down. In South America they just blow up the offices of journalists that don't play the game. Here they just financially assassinate you...

SALFORD STAR CLOSURE – GUY GRIFFITHS ON THE HUMAN COST OF PATHFINDER DEMOLITIONS

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
