Food Parcels, Housing Solidarity, and Eviction Defence with Food & Solidarity
February is one of the hardest months for many people in Newcastle. Heating costs remain high, wages don’t stretch far enough, and housing insecurity continues to affect families across the city.
Food & Solidarity is a member-led organisation based in Newcastle upon Tyne that combines practical support — like food parcels — with collective action on housing, eviction, and poverty.
Food & Solidarity runs weekly food parcel distribution for members across Newcastle. Volunteers work together to prepare parcels, organise collections, and coordinate deliveries.
This is not a traditional food bank. Food distribution is part of a wider organising model that links immediate support to long-term change.
Yes. Food & Solidarity supports members facing eviction by helping them organise collectively. Eviction is treated as a political issue, not a private failure.
Support can include understanding eviction notices, collective pressure on landlords, and turning individual cases into shared campaigns.
Poverty in Newcastle is driven by low pay, insecure work, rising rents, and benefit cuts. Helping means more than donations — it means organising together to change the conditions creating hardship.
Food & Solidarity combines food parcels with housing solidarity and collective action so people are not left dealing with poverty alone.
