✅Landlords and politicians won’t change unless we force them to.
✅If you’re living with black mould and unsafe housing conditions, you don’t have to fight alone.

With nearly 1,000 university jobs at risk in the North East, mass redundancies threaten workers and communities. Learn why union membership, community empowerment, and solidarity with striking university staff are crucial in the fight against job cuts

Child poverty in the UK is a crisis that cannot be ignored. As the Labour government continues to fail to address the root causes of poverty, grassroots organisations like Food & Solidarity are pushing for real, systemic change. Recent developments surrounding the National School Breakfast Programme (NSBP) have sparked outrage, particularly as it is now delayed until at least April 2026. While this was once seen as a hopeful initiative to combat hunger in schools, the delay highlights the ongoing failures of the system. At the same time, local actions like the fun run and marches have made it clear that the people are demanding more than just temporary solutions.

Food & Solidarity is mobilizing a national campaign to end child poverty. With 4 million children affected, we demand the abolition of benefit caps and an end to “no recourse to public funds.” Join us in collective action—sign up by 15th Feb and attend a public meeting to help drive change.

Food & Solidarity isn’t a food bank—we’re a movement for change. We don’t believe in charity; we believe in solidarity. Volunteer with us to share food, build community power, and fight for justice.

Food & Solidarity has been named a Big Issue Changemaker 2025 for our relentless fight against poverty, evictions, and housing injustice. From delivering thousands of food parcels to stopping illegal evictions, we take action where others fail. The fight isn’t over—join us and stand for change!

This past year has been one of stark contrasts for Newcastle City Councillor Karen Kilgour. So recently celebrated as the first female leader of Newcastle City Council, her tenure has since been marred by a no-confidence vote and rising public discontent. Food & Solidarity's efforts to engage Councillor Kilgour on critical issues of child poverty and unjust policies culminated in a rainy and windswept march by community members. The message was clear: promises made in opposition must be upheld in government. This article reflects on Kilgour's refusal to critique harmful Labour policies she once opposed and the unfulfilled commitments that continue to shadow her leadership.

This winter, Food & Solidarity hosted three powerful events exposing the roots of Britain's housing emergency. From campaign strategy workshops to protest art creation, we equipped communities with tools to fight back against landlord power and failed housing policies.

In early 2023, we ran workshops on resisting bailiffs, stopping forced prepayment meters, and building community protection. Read how we organised, what we learned, and how to take action today.
