This festive season, Tyneside Badminton Centre collected for the Newcastle West End Foodbank.
The foodbank opened in March 2013 and is one of the busiest in the UK, providing more than 18,000 food parcels annually.
They offer emergency food assistance to people in the west end of Newcastle, which is one of the most economically and socially deprived areas in the North East.
The centre’s first Christmas food drive was a huge success, and the sheer generosity was overwhelming.
Almost 100 kilograms of both food and non-food items were donated by the customers of the centre, all of which has now been delivered to the foodbank with the assistance of Very Speedy Relocation Services.
Now, the team of staff and volunteers at the foodbank will sort and pack the donations to be distributed to families in need offering three days of emergency food supplies.
Without the help and generous donations of our customers, foodbanks like this would not be able to operate and support those in our local community.
