Tyne Tees Foodbank

The Bay Food Bank serves the whole of North Tyneside. A typical day can see anywhere from 30-50 emergency food parcels delivered to people who need them.

The Newcastle United striker visited Gateshead Foodbank last week and helped to pack emergency food parcels ready to be handed out to struggling families.

Volunteers at Key2Life in South Shields say more people self-isolating has led to a rise in demand, and donations are declining.
