Thank you for taking the time to visit our team page

***New date: The Big NT1 Sleepout will take place on Saturday 30th March 2019***

A team of brave volunteers from EE NT1 and BT Gosforth will be spending the night sleeping outdoors, to raise awareness of homelessness and vital funds for The People's Kitchen Newcastle.

No tents allowed!

THIS IS THE JOINT FUNDRAISING PAGE OF ALL THOSE TAKING PART, AS WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS A GOAL OF £2,500. 

"We aren't here to through each other, we're here to see each other through"

The People's Kitchen has been supporting the homeless and disadvantaged in the Newcastle area since 1985. Spurred on by an article about the death of a homeless man on the streets of Newcastle, Alison Kay (then in her 70s) decided to set up an organisation to support those in need. She set up the first People's Kitchen next to the railway arches on Dean Street, offering food, clothes, a warm fire and warm welcome to anyone who came in peace.

Alison died in 2001, aged 91, but inspired by her example, The People's Kitchen remains true to her principles; providing 'friendship and food' to anyone who needs support...

...and we'd like to help.  

Your kind donation and support will spur on the team, and will go a long way towards helping those unable to help themselves!

Thank you.
