In addition to supporting the Joseph Cowan Health Care Centre and Newcastle West End’s Foodbank, we also donated £100 to the Felling Foodbank in Gateshead. Staff and volunteers at the Felling Network used our £100 donation to make up packs for 10 families. We hope that these packs will help bring Christmas cheer to them.
