The aim of Party Relief is to use any form of Christmas ‘party’ to raise much needed funds to help the homeless, vulnerable and hungry of our region at Christmas.

The austerity years have made life increasingly hard for vulnerable people in the Tyneside region, pushing more and more people into deeper poverty and more desperate situations. Demand for accommodation for the homeless continues to grow, there has been a disturbing recent rise in 'survival sex', and our food banks are having to cope with increasing demand with one reporting as much as a 10% week on week rise in recent weeks. Many desperate people cannot access the food and support that they need.

So, why not have a Christmas celebration and help the most vulnerable people in our region at the same time?
