South Tyneside is one of the country’s most deprived communities, with almost half of residents living in the UK’s 20% most deprived areas. Around one in three children are growing up in poverty, while many families struggle to put food on the table and one in ten are at risk of homelessness. For too many, a hot meal, a warm home and a safe place to sleep are far from guaranteed

Hospitality & Hope is a leading South Tyneside charity tackling food insecurity and homelessness. Our Community Shops help local people access affordable, nutritious food with dignity and choice, while our Foodbank provides vital support in times of crisis. We also provide safe housing and tailored support for homeless men, helping them rebuild their lives, develop skills and confidence and take positive steps towards lasting independence.
