Join The Food Collective: Fighting Hunger & Injustice in Newcastle

Fighting Food Insecurity and Housing Injustice Through Collective Action

At Food and Solidarity, we are a structured, democratic organisation committed to addressing urgent community needs through direct action. Whether it's providing food support or organising against evictions, we work together to ensure that no one in our community is left behind. By confronting landlords, challenging housing disrepair, and defending tenants, we create real change, not through charity, but through collective power.

What We Do!

Our focus is on taking direct action that brings immediate relief and long-term change. Some of our core activities include:

• Weekly Food Distribution: Every week, we organise food distribution events to provide essential supplies to those facing food insecurity.
• Eviction Defence: We actively organise around eviction cases, using collective action to stop unjust evictions and defend tenants' rights.
• Housing Disrepair Campaigns: From severe mould to unsafe living conditions, we hold landlords accountable for neglecting their properties. Our actions have successfully pressured landlords to make necessary repairs, restoring dignity to tenants who have been forced to live in uninhabitable conditions.
• Campaigns around Eviction, Cost of living, and Child poverty

Member Testimonials: Our Work

• Housing Disrepair Direct Action: We recently organised against a landlord who allowed severe damp & mould to make a flat unliveable. After weeks of pressure & collective action, the landlord surrendered the tenancy, & the tenants were moved to safe housing.
• Eviction Resistance: In recent months, we successfully blocked several eviction attempts, helping members to defend tenants & ensure their housing security.
• Weekly Food Distribution: Every week, we ensure that essential food supplies reach individuals & families in need, regardless of their circumstances.
