ABOUT US


Kirkby Stephen Community Support (KSCS) is a voluntary association that has been set up to coordinate a range of services for residents in and around Kirkby Stephen who are in need due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. These services include:

Weekly FREE Food Parcels to those who are in need or vulnerable – generously supported by FareShare and Recycling Lives, Kirkby Stephen COOP and a range of local businesses. Plus weekly treat boxes to those working in key roles during this outbreak.

A shopping service for those who are shielding and/or unable to access online groceries, from the Kirkby Stephen COOP and other essential local shops.

Support for the Green Tree Pharmacy with volunteer deliveries of prescriptions and paid for goods.

Support for other local shops as requested.

Supporting other community and voluntary groups during these uncertain times.

We know that COVID-19 (coronavirus) is having an unfolding impact on many people’s health, wellbeing and livelihoods, and that we are all facing different circumstances. 

We also know that recovery from the pandemic will take time and the needs of our community will change, therefore KSCS aims to adapt and respond to the evolving needs of our residents over time, so we can continue to offer support where needed.

If you are able to support us in this unprecedented situation, please consider making a donation to KSCS.

Any gift, of any size, will be a huge help in ensuring that we can be here to support our community both now and on the other side of this pandemic.

Donations can also be made by post to:

 Kirkby Stephen Community Support Association, Upper Eden Visitor Centre, Market Square, Kirkby Stephen CA17 4QT

Please make cheques payable to Kirkby Stephen Community Support Association

Thank you and stay safe
