STEPPING IN WHEN PEOPLE NEED IT MOST
Throughout the year, our appeals help us respond quickly when people are most at risk of going without food.
At key moments in the year, many households face increased pressure and uncertainty. Our appeals allow us to act quickly — mobilising food, funds, and volunteers to ensure support reaches families when it matters most. Whether responding to seasonal challenges or sudden increases in need, these appeals help us provide practical support with dignity and care across the North East.
OUR CURRENT APPEALS
Childhood Matters: End Holiday Hunger
In the North East, over 1 in 3 children live in poverty. When school closes for the holidays, food disappears. This appeal provides holiday hunger packs, emergency food, and dignity-first support for families facing impossible choices.
Every Child Deserves a Birthday
Many families across the North East are already struggling to afford the basics, and when money is stretched this far, birthdays can quietly pass without celebration. This appeal provides Birthday Celebration Boxes that help families mark these important moments with dignity.
