What We Do

About the Foundation

The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation launched during the unfortunate Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 to help alleviate hunger and to provide essential supplies to those in need.

The outbreak meant a change for everyone around the world but having seen the problems faced by many first-hand, it was time to take action, we were all in this together.

Evolving to a multi-faceted charity and support network, we aim to enhance wellbeing and improve the standard of living for Northampton residents, particularly those who are faced with sudden and unexpected hardship.

Reaching Out to Those in Need

Running every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 4pm till 6pm, and Saturdays & Sundays from noon till 2pm, we offer grocery packs containing essential items.

Between July and November 2020, our volunteers cleared, de-weeded and tidied up over 75 neglected gardens in the local area…
Doorstep Buddies
A general chit-chat, a listening ear or help with simple tasks, doorstep buddies are there to offer friendship and guidance…
Weekly Afternoon Meet-up

Affordable Haircuts
We all like to look our best… Affordable haircuts for all hair types are available from The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation.
Cookery Classes
Cookery Classes are run by Teresa (our in-house qualified Chef) on a Tuesday and a Thursday at various times. We have three levels of class: basic, intermediate and advanced.
