Today, the Trussell Trust Gateshead Foodbank came to collect the kind donations from the school community. The food will be packaged and given out next week, helping to feed some of the 10,000 people who use the service in Gateshead each year.

School Councillors met with a volunteer from the Foodbank to hand over the donations and to ask some super questions about the Foodbank’s work.

The Foodbank helps to feed our communities and also provides vital advice on managing finances and finding eligible benefits for those eligible. If you ever need support, you can get help here
