So we had this space on our shirts, & no sponsor to fill it...how could we do some good with our space? How about we advertise charities that need our support?

The People's Kitchen is the first of those, & is now on our shirts & our website. They serve 300 meals a day, 7 days a week, to anyone who needs it. It's fantastic to know that, through the efforts of all then volunteers there, people who find themselves with nothing can go somewhere & a) have a hot meal, b) meet people who want to listen to them & be friends with them.

But showing their logo to everyone doesn't make any difference to the poorest in Newcastle. It only helps if people see it & give time, goods or money. Please click on their logo at the top of our website & see how you can support.

Maggie Pavlou, trustee of The People's Kitchen (pictured) has given us a list of items their Friends commonly need, & we'll send it to club members. If you want to donate goods, please contact Timothy.
